CCC184: The Border Trench

Posted on May 19, 2022 by crispina kemp

It took one hundred men one hundred years to dig out the border trench one hundred feet deep.

But that was one thousand years ago.

Time has filled it with silt and drift. Today it took me less than ten clicks to cross it.

    Time has its way of making everything smaller, shorter and less significant. Damn time! 🕰

    I bet they were so very proud. Then again, what else was there to do? They didn’t have TV.

    You should have said “but that was ten one hundred years ago” 😉
    Time does have a way of changing things, doesn’t it?
