Time Watcher

I have no need

of curtains

on my windows

in my home

on a hilltop

since no creature

alive can

find me there;

I have no need

of linens

to cover my bed,

or of rugs

to cover my floor

or of electrical

currents by

which to 

cook and see;

I have no need

of people

with whom to talk

or of books

to read,

or of music

to listen to

as nature

provides that

willingly

in return for

keeping people

like you

out of our lives...

in order

for us to see

the end of time

come

for all of us.
