We say
Time
We mean
Life

Time is when you wake up and when you stay in and don't leave until you're ten minutes late for work because you need to look your best
And
Time is when you sit in silence in front of the same television for years watching the same shows you've seen a hundred times and hear the hour hand on the same old clock slowly travel until the Sun's gone
And Time
Is when you're sleeping and eating and bathing and loving and building and breaking and moving on and coming home and leaving for good and returning one last time because time got
the very best of you

Time happens
and the measure is your keen perception
and so you don't feel time as it happens

Life is
When you stop to breathe
And stop to place the pieces
And realize there are pieces lost
And missing and you look down lost
As the soil falls
