I am tired right now <br />as i watch the clock <br />that hangs on a wall <br />just time eating time <br /> <br />As I try to gather <br />the fumbling thoughts <br />that I stutter upon <br /> <br />And align them in rows <br />just a daily routine <br />boredom or madness <br />you be the judge <br /> <br />Watching that clock, breathing <br />inhaling the present <br />exhaling the past <br /> <br />Its long arms lapsing, overlapping <br />patiently burning the moments <br /> <br />Three long fingers pushing time <br />forward and absurd <br />dreaming the future but ever patient <br /> <br />The time is taken by time <br />and it never stops <br />long before you existed <br />and long after your demise <br /> <br />Time will forever be <br />moment then moment <br />forever time eating time<br /><br />Clifton Redmond<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-eating-time/
