Time's Valentine

When after sleeping
in the same bed
for years I’ve
worn a pocket
or after sitting
for years at the same
end of the sofa
I’ve worn a niche
or after holding
for years the same
thought I’ve worn
a groove in my brain
(without time there’s
no possibility of change)
no new bed
no new sofa
no new brain
but to have uncovered
something true about myself
I could not have noticed
or acknowledged until now
having worn a curve
around myself
proves the usefulness
of time for me
in the larger scheme
of things
