In the Sand Box of Time

Time’s long strands, a play box of sand.  
Young & strong, won’t spare a thought. 
Taut flesh frowns on a wrinkled hand. 
Time’s long strands, a play box of sand. 
Isn't a head that remembers how to stand
better than a head alone, black in each spot?
Time’s long strands, a play box of sand.  
Young & strong, won’t spare a thought.
