How Time Really Swiftly Passes By Poem by RIC BASTASA

again i see this movie
i look around me
i close the window panes
and then the door
and then i go within
the movie in one of those
characters
that keep on chiding me
that i have done nothing
to make that love come true

it keeps on laughing at me
saying
'how time swiftly passed
and you are left alone
still tending to your wounds
as she had sent her boy into
manhood and now waits with
him at the altar for his bride'

bad character i supposed
but i am worse
i know how to jump
into mud into the situation
and tell myself
' Go, go away
i have more loves
to tend and tender
for another day! '
