thinking in time
the ticks of a clock feel so certain
confident that time has passed
steady in pace and sound
as the minutes elapse
can you feel the time move
sometimes it feels like i can
when it’s faster than it ought to be
and it slips through your fingers like sand
the distance is measured in miles
point a to point b
five thousand two hundred eighty feet
it’s hard to get perspective on these things
how far am from who i really am
there’s not a number that i can see
no chart to plot
no maps to read
if i could bend time and space
go anywhere i want
where i would be, i couldn’t say
maybe i wouldn’t move
but the world would keep on spinning
life’s to short to care anyway...
