No such thing as time

Anyone
who’s ever
paid the slightest
bit of attention
when connected
in love
and having
an orgasm

knows
there is
no such thing

as time

anyone
who’s ever
been even
a little bit aware
in those moments

sometimes
changes time
into space

reaches out
across familiar
days and nights

and feels
them all

everything
and every one
they’ve ever
been
