The Crocodile of Time

The crocodile of time


Eats a hand

and always comes back

for more.

One last cup of coffee

in the raining city

- an arm -

One more game of pool

- an eye -

Just five more minutes

on the plastic phone

-a leg –

All add up to an individual eternity

- a body -

The crocodile returns

but cannot crush

a flying soul,

free of time and place,

pick and choose

the pirate ship

- a life-



1998
