the daily droll

i traverse these sands each day
their always a copy of yesterday past
i know it is of what has
been, for i recognize my own tracks
you see i compared the footprints
i noticed they match
i feel like im living in a giant spinning hour glass

minutes go so fast, soon they turn to hours
friends clocks are spinning, we forget about ours
hours are devoured, to this clock im a coward
i fear the day were i lie cozy and cold under a bed of flowers

hours are devoured they turn into weeks
the warm air replaced by cold that bites my cheeks
cold that stiffs my bones, until they creak
matching my emotions i am growing so weak

weeks are devoured, morphing into months
but they feel like days while your time is crunched
and sold to afford breakfast, supper, and lunch
toy, dates, and living stuff, i feel like i am fucking nuts

as months are devoured, turning into years
the clock attacking with its short sword and spear
nicking at me every second, its ticking i hear
waiting to just die, i fear, what will i say about my life when death is near?
