One more second
Faces aren't the sky,
Saying they change in 12 hours is a lie.
Lie down and think
Think about how long it takes
One hour,
One day,
One week,
One month,
One year,
Once.
Once you do, you know.
Faces can change
Not in 12 hours but 12 months
They can go from not wanting the next year,
To wanting the next day,
To wanting the next second,
To wanting one more
One more second when they wanted none
They can look back to when they had nothing
To when they didn’t want anything
Thinking that was one time,
Now knowing what it is to want once again.
This poem is about:
Me
Our world
