Hey!
Time taps my shoulder
then runs
ready or not,
here I come!
I never liked chasing
people
and time
is worse
people can get
caught
Ha! Ha!
Time laughs
Made ya look!
I stop,
panting
chaos in its wake
as it continues
to barrel ahead
of me
can't
catch
my
breath

This is so true!! You really captured the feeling of time running away from us.

I love the image of chasing and gasping for breath but never quite catching up to time. That is exactly how it feels!
