Male Time:

A man needs no
Time.

To bale out
Time.

As he rushes
Against
Time.

For the right
Time.

To seduce
A woman.

The right
Time
Is with him.

already.

Time
Shouts
As he ignores.

"Pause me
There is not right
Time."

"Come
Caress me."

"Delay me."

"Queue
My seconds."

"Like a line of ants."

"Make the right
Time."

"Decompress me."

"Wave
My ripples."

"Back
And
Forwards."

Time
Hides its head
Like an ostrich.

Time shouts
Again:

"Stop."

"Unwind me."

"In one second."

"Stretch me flat
Slowly."

"Day by day
As years pass by."

"Hang in there."

"Milliseconds."

"I am too slow
And too long."

"Betray me
I beg you."

Ulysses Alvarez Laviada
