Tripped and Slipped

I tripped over time and was shocked to discover That regardless how agile one can never recover A minute passed bye. You can stumble or mumble some crass obscene chatter But find in the end it just doesn't matter How hard that you try. Time is a friend or a brutal task master Sometimes it moves slow; sometimes it moves faster But it never stands still. Times when we’re on time, or early; times when we are late Times we urge it on and times beg it to wait But it never quite will I slipped on a slick spot of slow indecision Between firm resolve and a needless revision Of one more good plan. You can amble and ramble through clear headed thinking But find in the end that you're stubbornly sinking In one more firm stand. A break with a burden can feel like relief. A lie to yourself can feel like a belief That you wanted to hear. Flatter yourself with some quick hocus-pocus But sooner or later you come back into focus On something you fear. We often entertain ourselves with conscious games we play. We often trick ourselves with the clever things we say.
