Sped Up Or Slowed

2/8/17 Straight, curvy and bumpy roads Some with cones All across the globe Tools made of stones and from bones Got to stay in the zone Wherever I may roam and rove Certain boards bowed And automobiles had to be towed Money being owed And loaned Waters with or without foam And lawns that do or don't have gnomes Regardless of if the grass was or wasn't mowed Above and below Where waters flow By way of the crow Or as it was written in an ancient tome In areas with buffalo Troves hidden in coves And groves And other places unknown Every since way long ago Time has shown Tasks done alone And on one's own Experiments involving clones And surveillance done with drones Faraway and nearby home And any other abode Hung up the phone If it wasn't about money, then quickly came the dialtone Due to the weather events getting postponed Skills and wisdom are important to hone Whether you're full of estrogen or testosterone Coagulated blood was found on a robe While it snowed The full moon glowed Near the motherlode Located at a node Time seemingly sped up or slowed Objects getting thrown away and sewed Meanwhile the population continued to explode In and out of areas that did or didn't errode Old and new episodes Information and emergency calls being radioed Items made with many materials, sometimes chrome Or silicone Stadiums with or without a dome Capable of being able to fully close Within and beyond areas that have or haven't been combed Better stay on your toes Continuing to row As the wind does or doesn't blow Effects ripple and domino Despite if you have or haven't chose Because that's how life goes Stay sharp and composed By: Dalton Ogletree
