Waiting on Time

I'm crossing my legs

Waiting

For something i don't remember

I begin to think

About time

How my time on this earth is going to affect the future

In a way

For me

For you

And how time is limiting all of it

Waiting

Is taking

Every

Precious 

Second

Of the minute

Of the hour

Of the day

Of the year

Of the decade

Of the stage in my life

What i did

What i will do

And how i'm wasting my time waiting

Passing time

Time

Waiting

For something

To happen

And all i'm doing is sitting

And waiting

The ticking of the clock

Piercing my ears

I tap my foot on the ground

Dashing my eyes every which way

Suddenly aware of success

The clock strikes 12

The clanging of the old clock begins

My brain acting the same

Sliding and bursting the sides of my mind

The clock stops

Everyone stops 

This is better

Now all i have to do is wait

For time

I have until forever
