Time is no longer the same Words shift Letters trickle down and lose their shape Minutes dissolve into sand And are gone

I wanted to tell you something The other day After closing time But the clock spun too quickly And the traitorous earth turned

When I finally caught up To you; your hunched shape Fading away down the long street The spryness of youth - had melded With the deep ravines of antiquity: Your time was almost done
