What Is

What we could all do without is in time

No worry about age without time

No thought of future death, without time

Why can’t I have

My time to myself

To do what I want

To open my mouth

Scream out loud

State what I feel

Go where I want

Rob and steal

 

It’s what I could do without (time)

Bide it rotting in a cell

Rushing unlike animals about

You’re impressed I can tell

Why is there no fun?

With time on the run

Two hours to the sun

Worry where the minutes have gone

It’s what went wrong

It’s time

 

Oh yes it’s been a long time

Well it’s just fine

It’s mine

Waiting for the sign

Days in a line

Till the end of time

 

I wouldn’t want to win the race in time

No past, no future, no now –

In time

Yes I feel fine although I’m 69, I feel 29,

Tell me a joke to pass the time

It’s filled with things for the sake of filling

The space between the beginning and the end

 

Why not spend time

It’s about time

I say now!

Now!

Not then

And then

When we forget time

 

It will be –

Fine.
