Time

I am disgusted with time It ticks and tocks, on and on Never caring that some of us need it to stop Take a break, catch our breath Ruminate and reflect But time cares not Ticks that drip like a leaky faucet It can’t be fixed You can put your finger in it The pressure builds Then spills, taking you back to where you were Counting each heavy minute and second I need to feel some weightlessness Floating off in space where up is down Sideways is down and down is up Time makes no sense it’s all-wrong in our minds I need to stay still and jack with time Move on past it at the speed of light Gravity insists you can never escape Ah what a concept, I'll simply Set my watch back and pretend it’s Saturday (with a little help from a friend~thanks KA).

time is so subjective. I can't wait to catchup. ~Kilmer.
