watch it walk slowly

   no one wants to visit
              the harsh reality
      that the days
                     are slipping away
               and there might not be
                        enough time
                   to make time for time.

it is always tomorrow
                        or the next day,
         feeding the minutes away
                for just one more moment,
         another chance to get it down,
                                       get it done.
but it all falls apart
                           and what was most important
                    gets pushed aside
            for what needs to happen now.

an endless,
                   circular motion,
                                              coming back
                       upon itself.

crazy, bark-eyed men shuffling along
to the music that plays in their own
rattling heads, looking for a few more
minutes to drum up a symphony, but
the orchestra never arrives.

no one wants to visit the harsh reality
that you truly die alone, and all the
friends in the world can't bring you
down that winding road.

so we wait,
                   shaking off the sand,
              and it gathers
                              @ our feet
           only to restrict our movements
                     more and more.

                              but nobody listens,
                                      and the flowers
                                      get cast aside

                                    for bigger,
                                              better
                                                    guns.
