What's the deal? [petit sonnet]

If only my mind
could figure out time
I'd publish my findings
right in a rhyme!

it's a scandal how I'm
so flummoxed at what's
the deal about time --
a conceptual klutz!

wide eternity
could your mits clasp?
why diurnity
slips from my grasp!

time mocks at my beard
when in dream it's so weird
