supreme ironies

Supreme ironies shape human life
& an engineering culture like ours
    sows this one:
Where its enormous premise
is to save time,
    its plethora of devices
Only puts time on the run,
underscoring the flight of time,
    endowing it with fleet feet--
thus for the poet disappeared
into mountains
his morning is slow wide & unhurried
    as the sun's leisurely transit-

[his devices:
shoes/shades/shorts]
