We're Late

Clocks cannot tell our time of day For what event to pray Because we have no time, because We have no time until We know what time we fill, Why time is other than time was. Nor can our question satisfy The answer in the statue's eye: Only the living ask whose brow May wear the Roman laurel now; The dead say only how. What happens to the living when we die? Death is not understood by Death; nor You, nor I.
