"Time
is on
your side" they say
but can
time be my friend
when
unlike a friend,
he passes by me, over me, through me
and leaves
me longing
for that me
I was two minutes ago when you
on the radio
used your melodious voice
to tell me time
was on my side;
time
is not a friend
time is what you say it is
what you dont tell em when
looking at my watch you ask
me to tell you
the time.
