Racing Time

 

Rambling in the rain today

a brief run in the park

just a day of class

free time

forget what it's about...

Oh we are in

song instruction

as if I didn't know

maybe just forgot it

a day for taking notes.

Time now really speeding up

they mentioned it again

lots of folks have noticed it

and on the news at ten.

There really are no brakes on

moving as it wants

a thousand days of dna

compressed into an hour.

Overcast and drizzly

but warm and full of spring

little rings round bugs

pinging

fish ringing today.

Let me sit upon the shore

remember as a kid

watching figures under water

darting back again.

Always hated ending worms

but was their time to go

born about the 12th of June 

now waiting to be sewn. 

When was that? Just yesterday

It seemed the night before

life lasting now about a week

from birth to death and door.

Well back to class a couple hours

rehearse picking the strings.

Few days now from birth to hearse

food for hungry worms

though blind they sign

circle and climb

patient for our return.
