Time's Arrow

There is no time

I knew this even before

I grew tall enough to see over

The absurdity of it

Before I realized that

I was not at the center

of anything

I knew that events

Determined the trajectory

of time’s arrow

That only my consciousness

Constituted the reality

Of the past

Or the future

I knew that time

did not exist

Anymore than

The soul

Or God

Or love

Existed
