By Philip Kuepper

They saw the seasons
as oars
they used to row themselves
through time,
the years as oars
through the months,
the months through the weeks.
It was the minutes they used
as oars through each day.
They did not row to pass the time,
but to pass through time,
while they held close the idea
of infinity in their minds.
