A yellowish time was walking alone On the Hare Road in the rainy afternoon.
Is it time to discuss with coffee or ice-cream holding the hand like a band Touching the sorrows before putting coins into the evening's folder?
It's time to slice time thinner and thicker Processing pickles on the dissection table With likings-hates, joys-sorrows, dreams-realities before the evening flirts afternoon!
Going ahead or coming back or even standing a while Which one is the worthless best I don't like to know? A small seed of wrongful dream germinates mutely From infinity and going to the end of infinity!
Never have I seen any time walking Nor have I seen any rainy afternoon at Hare Road!
