Time checker
I’m always a time checker,
Looking at my watch to see the time.
Questioning what’s coming up?
Looking always to see if im behind.
I hate to ever show up late to things,
But never like to be to early.
The countdown is always on ,
Waiting for the end of the day for me.
Always Checking how much time I have left before I go to sleep,
Until it’s time to wake.
So I can be awake and refreshed.
And take on another crazy day.
These crazy things I think about!
This silly thing called time.
Isn’t so silly when it goes to fast,
or seems to go to slow.
I hate spending so much time alone,
I love to be around the ones I love.
So maybe I can take a break from being a time checker and spend more time just going with the flow.
Because there is one thing that’s for sure, time’s a precious thing,
So with me always checking time,
I’m just pushing away this beautiful life of mine.

Checkered choices rise some nights,
play chess with all my frightful failings.
Queen's Pawn to Rook 5.
Nail my footsteps
to the concrete season.
I'm losing pieces it seems.
I'm a sardonic grinner
and under these eyebrows, it's nuclear winter.
Wending my way through the last
three years, I find no release valve.
The pressure will build and place
its long arm along my shoulder,
pull me far from my friends.
One.
Two.
One.
Two.
Step
by step
by hammer blow step
a story is crafted, installed with a lock
in a circular book.
Queen's Pawn to Ryman Street
1:45 a.m.
simmering skin over ice armored innards,
the freezing rain sends up my curses
like steam
clouding off of my shoulders
and into the skyline.
I've castled my way out of checkmate questions.
Not my move to make,
so I won't life a finger.
Queen's Pawn to front doorstep,
then straight on to bed.
