The Threesome

Listen! Time is speaking in whispering tones
Afraid to wake its neighbors
-Space and Matter
How odd that Time should sneak around so much
(As if it has something to hide)
Matter sleeps undisturbed
While Space watches with one eye
Unwavering
But Time avoids Space
They are scorned lovers
Keeping their distance
Yet longing for a reunion
Time ticks and quivers
Matter wakes and embraces Space
Time Freezes
Jealous and ignored
Time gets in bed
With Matter and Space
They sleep soundly in each others arms
