Time machine

The people of yore
looked up—for the sun told time
concrete towers now

Preparations

Plan though all you want

and spend sleepless nights dreaming

laughs in your face, time

Beauty beyond words

the sunrise over the seas

traveller’s window

Cling on to always

though will shrivel as nature

material things

For high position

battling as athletes, towers

rising neck and neck
