time words work you and ms joplin?

There are not enough hours in the day

I want to see the whole world laugh at the same time

Drink some wine

Blink out some tears for all the kismets stuck in traffic

Regale my unwavering soul

Hand- pick my thoughts

Want to swim in your mouth

Then let you spit me out

I want you to see me pout

Want to see you spit words upon words

Pulling out feeling upon feeling

Letter by letter tongue twisting my thighs

Barrel collecting my eyes

Darting out the ocean

I’m free

Just another word for nothing left to lose she says

But I’m worried that time

Time won’t slow down for me

Got all these things to say got shit to poop

Got more chicken for your soup and I type cause it looks like I’m working

And I am working

Just not for her

For my sanity

For my entertainment

Making wet wishes to this computer screen

Got glassy eyes for that spot on your neck right below your ear

And I’m swerving in this office chair

While I vomit this on a word document

Getting in predicaments I want to be in

Accidents I believe in

Spontaneity as a consistency

Pull me closer

I’ll take you too

And you and you

And you

And time is what you make of it

Time is a figment of your imagination

A fraction of a day

Time is a beauty, an ugly reality

The beast that hovers over you when you could have been so much more

The blanket that validates you when you realize how far you’ve come

A ticker tape stuck on you

As she says: just another word for nothing left to lose

It’s there whether you’re paying attention or not

Permanent like your soul

Imagination, speculation, threatening, and liberating

All of the above

No need to prove just move with it

Move into it

It’ll reveal out of necessity
