Some time ago

And for a period of time

I lived on another planet

And in another galaxy

Where time

Didn't exist 



There were no seasons

No nights or days

There were no calendars

No hourglasses 



Sometimes I wrote letters to earth

To ask what year, what season it was

Sometimes I wrote letters to earth

To find out how old I had become 



And sometimes I was seventy years old

But other times my granddad wasn't even born

So my letters to him were returned

And I had to note on the envelope

Which year it was supposed to arrive in

Once, for a test, I sent a letter addressed

"Planet Tellus anno 2050"

But I never got neither an answer nor the letter in return 



I don't know how long I lived there

I forgot the meaning of words like

"Tomorrow" and "soon" and "suddenly"

I became both patient and impatient 



The strange thing, though

Even if time didn't exist

I always had plenty of time
