Up
Up
in the sky
i saw a clock one
time lost in time when
had i any time to spare my
time would be timeless forever
i used to spend my time like pocket
change time after time there was no time for
time had i made time when time was free i might
be freed of time's tyranny
the words of the prophets
are written on the subway
walls... i will use my time
looking up building up
wising up growing up
listening up tidying up
speaking up owning up
signing up teaming up
lifting up dreaming up
wrapping up till my time
on earth is like the sky:
Up
