I’ve always
envied those people
who invented that bent
little t-square
Measuring the passage of time
Eyeing one shadow
as it makes its way
along the crossbar
How miraculous
that moment must have been
sharing it with another
I imagine
it’s much like my time with you
Like we carved out
those very same crevices
the Egyptians did
Hearts of stone
contorted and formed
an equation so exquisite
That you could see each
and every single memory
we’ve etched onto it
Time does indeed
pass by so easily
As easy as breathing
one could say
When you are falling in love
