Inspired by the 1931 painting by artist Salvador Dalí, The Persistence of Memory
Persistence of Memory
James M M Baldwin
Surreal melting pocket watches
Unconscious relativity
Time space
Cosmic order met collapse
Like soft cheese in the sun
Lacking order
Time has passed away
Its persistence at its end
A dream of ants on sleeps decay
A landscape barren, cut by shadow
Arrow of time no more
Pocket watches drooping losing time
Irrelevant in a summer slumber
Distorted entropy
Backward spinning
Time does not persist in the dream
Only memories
