Time

Matthew Anderson 1981 (Rhode Island)



Plenty of time.
Found some time.
On time.
One time.
Give time.
Take time.
Do time.
Make time.
Warped time.
And the best healer of all wounds is, time.

We wear time on our wrist.  
Keep time in the palm of our hands, in our pockets and on our hips.

Sometimes and some all the time.
Fun times and times when your just done with time.

We keep time on our walls.
On our screens, counters and even in lavatory stalls.
If you have not accomplished certain tasks, it may be high time.
Whether speaking figuratively or literally, we buy time!


During solstice times we adjust to time.
When lightning crash, many times we reset all the time.

Because of time.
There are times.
When we run out of time.
Just because there is not enough time.

How much time is our life consumed and controlled by time.
Worried all the time.
That we might not get there on time.
Or that this time could be that time.
It’s the total fear of what could be the last time.
Or that it’s the end of time.
Which will surely come in due time.

If you don’t get what I’m saying this time.
Maybe another place and time.
That is, if you can find the time.
So until then and we catch up in that time.
This is life so enjoy what you’re given and make the best use of your time.
Keep a smile on your face all the time and have a great TIME!
