Drawer full of watches
Worn out bands
Batteries long dead.
Marked time
Minute by minute.
Marked time,
But never lived it.
Running out of time
Steps harder and slower.
Walking in molasses
Pulling
On each step.
Molasses, black molasses
Leaving a mess
Of footprints
On road behind.
Footprints that follow footprints
Will any come after
And
Follow mine?
Time
Running out of time.
Like watches in a drawer
Worn-out bands
Batteries dead.
