At 12:22

The sun passes directly down the 2inch pipe
Igniting it, glow like lava
Photons journeyed
92 million miles
Just to impress me?

Or is this visit in a job description
Per divine allocation:
“Adam, Eve you look after the animals,
Photons, just relax for a few millinea, but then I have a special job for you in the year 2019.”

Maybe it’s lonely out in the void, and the sun wants to visit a more temperate climate for R&R, to cool off a bit.
Kenya sounds nice.
5,700 degrees for all eternity is simply unbearable.

12:22 Human time.
Human time runs by the clock,
But clocks don’t govern the mind.
Seconds dominate days, even years
Rehash regret,
The thing I can’t let go of.
Dwelling in pain, in what could have been
Not living today, not living now
Not like the photons.
