To realize, by a sliver of time
Stumped, an unsolved crossword
Overlapping events but no rhyme
The fog of reality again slurred
Orbital paths that do not climb
Each life beats forever uninsured
Two nickels might equal a dime
The mentoring voices never heard
Slinking along, just sublime
Passing momentarily, but blurred
You didn’t catch my prime
Patience rewards the cheese curd
Time wasted is the worst crime
Years fly, jumpy as a whirlybird
Ticket 2 Ride
