Murder

If time is gone, word is gone
Story is not gone, but stories are gone
If function is lost (lapsed?), word is lost
Memory is not lost, but memories are lost
Function is waiting (?)
and life is time
Time is word, word is life
This is the sense in all of the things that we say.

Sense is time, and sound is time
Time is an abstract, time is life.
Word is ____(?)
and word is sound
so word is time and word is life.
All of the signs
are broken mouths
and broken minds
and a waste of my time
All of the signs have spent time beneath the sun. (?)
