The Time Trick

Take a train across the country To savor the landscape of waste Green valleys and mountaintops Sinking in airy blankets of puffy clouds And snake-like rivers lazy winding Through the surface of terrains Providing earthly blood-water Through the veins of canyons To the abundance of life thriving In paradise of living wild earth It is amazing sensual experience While you think it is just a trip Across the country riding a train You are not aware that you just Have boarded the time machine You thought the time is uniform But Einstein is grinning at you And the train proves you wrong Einstein used you to make his point That time succumbs to speed and Transforming into the fabric of cosmos Becoming mythical time of relativity While still running in one direction For you who oblivious sit on the train But being perceived in a different way By standing on the platform Einstein Who keeps a devilish smile on his face

An intelligent and intriguing write, Ruta. I enjoyed it very much, particularly "Providing earthly blood-water / Through the veins of canyons". Interesting metaphor of time as a train being observed from both inside and outside. Well done ~ John
