Tricks

Hello passage of time.

How are you today?

I don’t envy you.

I have heard what people

Say about you

Behind your back.

Or maybe you are right there.

Passing us slowly.

Tick tock. Tick tock.

And letting our hatred,

Our disgust wash

Over you because

Really what else can you do?

How did you come to be this way?

I am sure once you must have

Loved someone too.

Didn’t you want to hold on that

Moment too forever?

What did time do to you?

How did you come to be its slave?

No one hates time I hope you know.

Songs, phrases, feelings

All speak highly of it.

But, the passage of it, not so much.

If you ever want someone to talk to

I am here.

Don’t think I am doing this so that

You would make an exception for me.

If you could and would that would

Be fantastic but if not, that’s cool too.

So, passage of time, are you going

To stop a while and talk or walk

Away from me again?
