on time

BOOM!
I have time all over my hands
it runs between my fingers
I walk through Sunday stunned
by the smell of the river
the humidity of the air
the taste of rain in the breeze
peach blossom in the city
a bumble bee, as big as a thumb,
nosing into a crocus, bending the stalk
busy drinking, as I am free to do
if I choose
to spend my time drinking
in now
all I have is time
