Sunning by the Pool

 It was the twelfth of March,

twenty fourteen,

but it could have been

any day that summer,

or the one before, 

or the next five.

South America had

slimmed me down,

made me brown.

My body greedily

drank up the rays,

heedless,

heedless of future days.

Time Is Nothing

Time is nothing:

what you have now,

you'll not have long. 

What you assume today,

tomorrow will be wrong.

He Is the Proof of what Time Has Taken

He is the proof of what time has taken,

three-quarters of a century and more,

and also what time has given,

but not what time has in store.
