Second-Hand Life
sitting on the hand of now
taking in the view of life
riding forward steadily somehow
cutting now with a well-timed knife
passing by numbered days and hours
passing minutes with our eyes a'blink
passing seconds to the past devoured
passing time quicker than you'd think
sweeping continuously toward the what
sweeping around life's circled face
sweeping quarters around life's quad
naturally sweeping toward life's erase
the time bequeathed to each is precious
riding through times of a life capacious

capacious: (adjective) large in capacity
