Some Time Ago

And For A Period Of Time

I Lived On Another Planet

And In Another Galaxy

Where Time

Didn't Exist



There Were No Seasons

No Nights Or Days

There Were No Calendars

No Hourglasses



Sometimes I Wrote Letters To Earth

To Ask What Year, What Season It Was

Sometimes I Wrote Letters To Earth

To Find Out How Old I Had Become



And Sometimes I Was Seventy Years Old

But Other Times My Granddad Wasn't Even Born

So My Letters To Him Were Returned

And I Had To Note On The Envelope

Which Year It Was Supposed To Arrive In

Once, For A Test, I Sent A Letter Addressed

"Planet Tellus Anno 2050"

But I Never Got Neither An Answer Nor The Letter In Return



I Don't Know How Long I Lived There

I Forgot The Meaning Of Words Like

"Tomorrow" And "soon" And "suddenly"

I Became Both Patient And Impatient



The Strange Thing, Though

Even If Time Didn't Exist

I Always Had Plenty Of Time
