If we’ve seen it all before
then why
insist on re-watching
I’ve reduced my human mind
to a pattern
counting spaces in between
eating
rice-like intervals
stacking years of actor’s work
into hours
boxing up my only field
of vision
treating it like sand
as the nicer moments fall
like water
scratch a tally for a day
and notching
the belt hole calendar.
But you cannot
think about it
every moment
has already
gone and left you
by the time you
time you want to
appreciate it.
We have engineered our time
to fashion
in cycles and in rhymes
we have engineered our time
to spend it
to be hopeful at the end
with surplus
and never back on call
with days left under a sun
still burning
and watching us all day
doing
nothing all the way.
But you cannot
think about it
every moment
has already
gone and left you
by the time you
time you want to
appreciate it.
And I do not recall moments
that make what I call my insides
things like mother before her war
the room I was in for seven-
teen years what else was on
the street that I grew up on
what wast the first song that made me
decide to waste my time on this
thing that I am doing right now
right here in this room I might not
recall even a small amount about
Give it sway, the clock its weight.
Give it sway, the clock its weight.
