What is time?

A poem questioning the nature of time

What is time?

Is it a linear line?

Is it a random series of events?

Is it a bunch of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff?

I don’t know.

We don’t know.

Many have theorized,

Time could be manipulated

Time could be controlled,

Time could be changed.

If such a thing were possible,

What could alter time?

Could it be a madman in a blue telephone box?

Could it be a mad scientist in a delorean?

Could it be a remote that controls the universe?

Perhaps the secrets of time,

Have been discovered,

And we don’t realize it?

What is time?

I’m sure we’ll discover it eventually,

When the future becomes the present.
