Chronographia. Is all poetry an exploration of time?

Imbedded, implied, or specifically calibrated.


The making of a dish demands that chronographia be observed. Recipes are timepieces. I imagine much the same could be a said of the plating of a poem.

  1. Striking the chord at the end of the hall
    When we walked to get some bubble gum
    No drummers let in past a certain point
    Red hats in the snowstorm
    A phony greenish tattersall
    drooped behind the master's favorite chair
    How lewd and perfect a reply
    To the singers gathered around him
    "I won't have time to see thee,"
    says the baker with the rolls.
    "That's ok, just leave them
    warm and soft, ready for honey."
    And so we sang as if it mattered
    and we ate as if it didn't.
