2 minutes to Say
A day, yes, let’s,
Quick, before it’s
Stopped and the
Flesh collapses
Into sleep.
Say a day somewhere
Far off, not today,
That’s been and
Gone, not worth
Its weight in gold,
So little lost.
Say tomorrow, that
Will be, the healthy
World will wake
Once more, tireless,
Unlike me.
The wheels will spark
And something roll –
A Clown perhaps,
With a pair of sticks,
A ball and a gun.
