A moment…so tedious,
I wonder…is it there at all?
Falling on itself
Like wax droppings, in vain,
A candle lit at noon.

Time, space and impersonal truth
Standing in waiting
Impatient, condescending
Laughter and tears,
Passion and humility-
Glimpses of exotica
There, but like a shooting star.

Can you please move faster?
I request politely
In eternal movement,
The hinges of life are enmeshed.

And now a heavy shroud has fallen
Then settles
Like dust in an empty home
Listless, I do not shake it off,
I have heard it whispers gently
The sweet nothings of death.

"Time, space and impersonal truth

Impatient, condescending
Laughter and tears,
Passion and humility-
Glimpses of exotica

And only a death as merciful would we ask it to go faster than that.

*touching the screen* in return for the touch you granted me this morning
