Best Poems Written by James Marion

Twenty

Twenty seconds time
Is the time that it takes me
To update Facebook


Twenty minutes time
I could have written poems
Instead, arguments

In twenty days time
To Russia, China and back
But no, mostly naps

In twenty more months
I might go study abroad
I’m safer back home

It’s been twenty years
I thought by now I’d be rich
I’m working at it

Twenty more years gone
I thought I’d be married now
Go figure, I’m sick

They say twenty months
But two years if I’m lucky
Hardly long enough

Twenty day respite
Then awful physicians
Unfortunately

Twenty minutes pass
And I forget the last five
But I still take naps

Count back from twenty
I should update my status
My eyes are drowsy
