Time is not my own,
yet it is mine alone.
Time standardized
for the railroads speeding capital.
Time rationalized, coordinated after
Greenwich, the empire, long before
time turned atomic.
“Newton, forgive me,”
time is not universal or absolute.
Now time is personalized, neoliberal.
Annihilating space and time? Panic!
Personal timelines disturb our sense
of time, space, and each other.
No longer linear…
