baby I got hours of green
to edit, mondays goes dumb hard
like kicking kittens like footballs

leg day to finish myself off
to seal my confidence into the night
i hate days like these, rocky roads

and nowhere to hide from the sun
and the ugly, being assimilated into
the lifeless machine in a lifestyle-less queue

Time keeps moving forward,
Always on the go

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow

Time never stays in one place
too long

I see you around sometimes;
More than often not,

But they say you're formed,
By the utter action of my,
Imagination; as a faculty;
A notion;
A conception;

They say I'm sick,
They say you're not real!

How can that be?
When I see you!
I feel you!
I hear you!
And you comfort me.

They say for me to get better:
I need to let you go;

What should I do?
Tell me what to do!

They made me take pills!

Now I see you sometimes;
Not often as I use too,
I feel like you're fading away;
Were they telling the truth?

Now I see you sometimes;
Not like I use too,

Are you leaving me?
Is this the end of us?

You say meet someone good;

What do you mean?
Are you leaving?
Is this good bye?

We're splitting up like this!
Why are you leaving like this?

I guest you'll be leaving first;
I guest it was all a lie;

I guest our love was all a lie;
I guest this is good bye;

I'll forget you,
I'll earse you,
My love,
Nae Eoduun Salang.

three chord-ed pop song
like still afloat
i'm high and i'm free
spending all of my money
on gucci and designer
look like i'm rich to feel better
millennial cry for help
american dreams are easier
to chase if i stay asleep

our quiet rooms
compartmentalized
like louis vuitton
to basic calvin kliens
secretly living the best
of our lives
under the stars
and each other’s tired eyes

river in the joyful times
river in the elegiac
you give and take away
in your eloquent tongue

wagon, sunlight, lawn chair
subtle victories that make me smile
breathe and melt inside arms
that hold tight to the lapidary

memories that stud themselves
in my brain and the photos
not being old enough to go to the festival
interrupted, the soft fall into the river

Time speeds by doing
What we hold most sacred
While crawling slowly
Feeling pain and hatred

Time is on my side
Believing ****’s words were true
Time after time there's
Time for every matter, too

Once upon a time
Barrels recklessly ahead
Time’s up never comes
There is no time left to dread

Make time or waste time
No time to ask how
Take all the time you need
If time will allow

Being in the Now
Deserves a fighting chance
Now was once the Future
Without a backward glance

Now’s the time-Time’s up!
The truth comes out in time
Time always changes things
Revealing every crime

Once upon a time
‘Time is Money’ ran scared
“There’d be Peace for our Time”
Chamberlain declared

Now turns to the Future
Soon to be the Past
Over eons of time
Time stands still at last

Give it time, they say
Only time will tell
Now will be the future
For then tolls the bell
My favorite saying is "Time enjoyed wasting is not wasted time", since I spend a lot of time doing it...and Gibran's, "Tomorrow is today's dream", and Dr. Seuss, "How did it get so late so soon?"  And lastly,  J.R.R. Tolkien, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."  Keep writing, and reading, poetry!

laugh at the spring
of an innermost bud
sweep into drunkenness
an insensitive buzz
couch surfing hymns

state to state, you in your
least excellent of clothes
still steals the breath away
from the shiniest worn by most
best friends for life, safe from him
