Twenty
Twenty seconds time
Is the time that it takes me
To update Facebook
Twenty minutes time
I could have written poems
Instead, arguments
In twenty days time
To Russia, China and back
But no, mostly naps
In twenty more months
I might go study abroad
I’m safer back home
It’s been twenty years
I thought by now I’d be rich
I’m working at it
Twenty more years gone
I thought I’d be married now
Go figure, I’m sick
They say twenty months
But two years if I’m lucky
Hardly long enough
Twenty day respite
Then awful physicians
Unfortunately
Twenty minutes pass
And I forget the last five
But I still take naps
Count back from twenty
I should update my status
My eyes are drowsy
