&quot;As the tide washed in, the Dutch Tulip Man faced the Ocean:<br /> &#039;Conjoiner rejoinder poisoner concealer revelator. Look at it, rising up and rising down, taking everything with it.&#039; <br /> <br /> &#039;What&rsquo;s that?&#039; Anna asked. <br /> <br /> &#039;Water,&#039; the Dutchman said. &#039;Well, and time.&#039;&quot; <br /> -Peter Van Houten, An Imperial Affliction


There is a man with angles as a face,
who watches as we walk
back and forth, and as we pace,
and he says talk tick, tock talk.

There is a man with hands, and eyes,
who knows us as we sleep
and every morning as we rise
through dreams he knows to keep.

There is a man with “thinks” and “sees”,
And forgotten in fractured truths,
Who knows the “has-beens,” and the “be’s”
Time gone of shallow youths.

Again was a man, they tell me
Who went with head unhung
And he steps lightly, as do we
There until days had begun.
