Time Out Of Time

Time Out of Time


Time is my enemy

  I know this now

the seconds

 that never line up

the moments

 that collide

the minutes

that stretch into 

hours

 as pent up pleasures

at last fulfilled in a time

 out of time
      back in time
untouched by time

as close today

as years ago

a portion of time

 immemorial

waiting, hoping for a crack in the

 constant continuum

for a relapse

 a repeat
      a revelation

but time is

 my enemy

never going the way

 i wish it would go

forward

 back
      fast
     slow
future
 past

STOP!

I want that moment, that time out of time forever. Damn time.
