Parked on the side of life
Ahead, tonight’s sunset aglow
Anxious for destiny to follow
Arriving on the Technicolor rainbow
The future portends the past Memories no clearer 
Just sameness, not blameless 
Time distorts in the mirror
Suddenly, the music ceases
As the elevator shimmies upward
The vacant, staring faces
Unwilling to pull the ripcord
I’m late, but not for a date
Standing still, still the hands move
Precision movement grinds dreams 
Laying down a perfect groove
The summer solstice stretches the clock
Daylight dissolves into twilight Waiting patiently for its closeup Moments disappearing from eyesight
