Analysis of Timp liber



Mi se pare-n piramide
s-au uitat cândva clepsidre
care jinduie nisipul
caravanelor fierbinţi.

Întrebaţi-i pe părinţi,
dacă lângă ornice
au lăsat habotnice,
inimi tari, magnetizate.

Nu se ştie, din păcate,
cu precizie, secunda
oare cât nisip cuprinde
şi minutul câte dune.

Cine poate să adune
şi ce rost ar avea suma
plină ochide numere -
nimeni nu-i să numere.

Întrebaţi-i pe părinţi,
dacă ei au fost cuminţi
şi au numărat secunde,
oare, cum anume, unde?
