Time

like everything else in the world,

may have solid, liquid and gaseous states.

Set memory - the past,

time’s ice;

stream of consciousness - the present,

time’s water;

dream fantasy - the future,

time’s mist.

Perhaps it’s the same with language?

Ideology, love and belief

may be solid, liquid and gaseous states

of mind.

I hate frozen ideology.

Look at running water.

If it runs and runs toward love,

perhaps it finally reaches

absolute freedom?
