Poem


                Wait! Wait! Slow down, time. 
              Try moving like a snail for once.
             How quickly you drain your sand 
       As soon as the hourglass flips upside down.
        Knock it flat; keep it horizontal, for once!

         You shake me wide awake early morning,
      Then you sprint off like Cheetah at full speed. 
     I need you to stand at ease; linger long enough  
       For me to at least savor all golden moments 
       With my better half before I walk out the door.

    Slow down the ticking hand of the clock, time.
    Stop drifting away with the evanescent clouds
           And chasing after every gust of wind!
             When will you learn to co-operate?
            When parallel lines merge at infinity?

       Wait for me. Just wait! Why not try walking?
    I wish to put away my worn-out running shoes
   Allow me to keep up with your supersonic speed
            Pause the morning buses and trains
              I drop things sprinting to hop on!

           Let me catch up and let's stroll down 
        The footpath in the vernal meadow of life.
            Let the world match you step by step.
             Extend the halcyon days of summer
           You move much too fast, you devil you! 
 
                 Hold up! Can I at least get sick
                Before I die? Work with me, time.
             Where are you always hurrying off to?
                    I really wish you could crawl... 
                   Just like a snail, very slowly.
