Time, Yes Time

The distance is measured in seconds
as your heart beats in sync
With the watch you watch so diligently.

Gazing in every single place
but where it matters
Refusing to face my face
for fear of fear.

Every single moment we dance this,
this syncopated
Melodramatic
Second by Second race.
Indeterminably you.

Repetitions repetition by you,
the repetition's heart beat by you
Again, again and again.
We face the sound of sound
by waters trail and beasts tail.
Running this syncopated race.
As we avoid face and time.

Time is our oyster,
the seconds are a waste
as we trail minute by minuet.
Words playing off our tounges
as we fumble in our pockets
for this minute change
of our lost ways.
Brazen we smile as we dance
refusing to cope with out loss.
