Busy Day

The sun rise moves too fast
 
  To notice that at last it's set again
 
  Where was I all that time?
 
  Where were you?
 
  And when did the stars become so many, and so few?
 
  So many days, just slip away
 
  Unnoticed beneath the falling cell phone signals
 
  Honking horns
 
  Microwaves
 
  And the latest celebrity gossip craze
 
  And then a new day announces
 
  No more, no more
 
  Time slows under its' gaze
 
  And silences the cell phones
 
  The horns, microwaves and morons
 
  Under this eye I barely breathe
 
  So far has this night been
 
  That I barely recognize its' face
 
  When so many days sped by before
 
  Poof and gone without a trace
