Killing Time

Time stands still for just a moment 
I long to see humanity unfroze 
But everyone is frozen in place and here, I remain
Free from time, alone with mind 

Killing time, I run wild 
Honestly, who could stop me 
I  dance and sing , knowing no one is watching 
No one is listening 
I am at peace 

I run miles and miles 
I stop at gas stations and grab water
Not even bothering to set money on the counter because it is just me 

I run through the fields, forests , the plains, 
I climb the mountains for the thrill 
Knowing if I fall, no one can save me 

But after awhile, I crave the sound of another person’s voice 
I return back home to see my mother frozen , cooking at the stove 
My sister , still holding her cat
They’re like statues in a museum and I am the visitor 
Thinking they’re so lifelike, but motionless they remain 

Frozen in time forever 
Me, begging Father Time to unfreeze them and let me go back to the life I knew 

But it doesn’t and I return to the road, and live in eternal patience
While I know my time is running out
