Chronos
Hello time, why you leak away, I see you in my clock slowly eating through my daily toil.
Can't you go back and pick up later I need to iron my trousers while I'm still wearing them.
You chronological limpet, made of cogs and other divine workings, you make time real, you make time a worthwhile deal.
You have none yourself
So spoil yourself help yourself.
To mine
