Mayfly

The Mayflies were flying today
This May day is their one day
Let us imagine that I was prompted to put pen to paper
(Finger to tablet)
And that I wrote something timeless
About Time and its passing
Something about Mortality
Something about Things with capital letters
And that this something spoke to you
And that you smiled and nodded and wrote a reply to me which showed that you "got" it
And that I replied
And that my reply celebrated our mutual understanding
And that I put in a joke
(Time flies?)
To show that, whilst we were both capable of discussing Things with capital letters
We were still playful
But I simply do not have time, my dear

We do not have nearly enough time
