Frailty

The sun came through the clouds
It was supposed to rain today
Time seems more arbitrary on days like these
Confined by the names given
Determining how to measure and qualify waste
To gauge glee and the sullen
The past, future, and present are defined
Mayans and Aztecs, Ancient Egyptians and Greeks
Saw the sun and the moon pass and measured their activity between
Old or young depends on breathing
A still born is old and 100 years is youth
Fast and slow, boredom and patience
Subjected to frivolous definitions
That are behavior and its meaning
Savings accounts and schooling and families and suicide and faces
Existence is constrained and debated, fixed and incarcerated
Numbered clocks and calendars are restrictions
The sun went down on Friday as the moon rose Tuesday
It rained hard
