thirty minute break


too fast
too soon
why try to be too old
too much
too little

time as a condition boxes us in
time as an invention sells us out
sells us short

not fast
not slow
no way out
not right
not enough
not enough time in the world

when is it too much
when is it long enough

time leads us astray.
time fills an ashtray.

we're penned in.
we're fucked up.
we're dragged down.
we're thrown out.

people don't realize,
late for work,
late for school,
late for lunch,
late for life,

time has its way. (with us)
