What Time Is It

Time is a funny thing
that plays jokes on us - 
teasing and tormenting
laughing in our faces
while we struggle to exist
and feel the world around us - 
catching up to us
only to leave us behind
as it races towards the future
still heavy-laden with the past!
Somehow the present is lost
becoming a non-entity
of useless living
as plans and memories
take priority over 
heres and nows!
