Take Your Time (I’m Not Using It Anymore)

The stars are no longer spelling out stories.
Don’t tell me you see constellations where there are none.
We invented clocks because we were tired
of looking to the sun and her shadows.
The moon is moving farther away from us all the time
and maybe that’s why we came up with months…
because we were terrified that one day we’d look up
and she would not be there anymore.
This calendar is a cage
and I’m searching for a key
that doesn’t look like a gun to the head.
I’m doing a lifetime behind bars
but it will be a short sentence.
After all, I don’t have much to say.
