TIMESHIFTING

Along the time continuum,
like a river flowing along,
the speed proceeds to kingdom come
at rates which may seem very wrong.

Time goes slow without distraction;
slower still in discomfiture;
Speeding up with good impaction;
lightning fast in ecstasy pure.

The dream ideal of time control:
to shoot through pain’s unpleasantness;
but slow the path through joys’ brief dole,
to maximize life’s happiness.
