Time stretches out and out and out.
We stretch too with passing time.
Our minds expand with knowledge.
Our possessions expand with buying.
Our talents expand with learning.
Time rushes on and on and on.
We rush too with passing time.
Our minds cram in what we have to know.
Our possessions cram into corners with no time for putting them away.
Our talents are crammed into whatever time is left.
Time remains ticking constantly along.
We tick along with time -- but not constantly.
Our minds work fast or slow to match occasions.
Our possessions work when we have need of them, and then are still.
Our talents are shown when necessary, discovered or left behind as we go.
Time is forever going and going and going.
We go forever with time. Now here. Now there.
Our minds continue learning now and later.
Our possessions continue in this time and do not follow.
Our talents continue with us forever like time, going where we take them.
