Hours of Life

celebrate the hours of life 
which stand on the scale 
weights and measures
tipped and spilled

seconds are always in control 
as the pedestrian walks 
between his life and on coming traffic
the roulette table of if

WHEN is the future ?
yes it is !
but i can't understand ?
what was when . .  .   .   .    .      .

and now she has arrived 
and blankets the ground in white
ruffled and wrinkled
but that was yesterday

trouble caused a riff in when 
in fact, the time has come
again in the hours of life
manage when manage life
