    Ecclesiates was wrong-
    There is no time for you:

    No calendar with you name
    Penciled like a vein
    Beneath skin.

    See the birds on wires,
    Wait patiently as warts
    For electrocution;

    Watch the elderly
    Tread water
    On the bladders golden pond.

    The sand of your days
    Is sugar,
    In the black waking coffee
    Of death.

    The first 11 lines did nothing for me.

    The last 4 are really really good.
