How Time Runs Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

How Time runs
When it wants
But then
When it be slow
It will be slow
It will be ticking
Breathing heavily
Into the cesspit
Of used moments
Absolute: specific
The seconds and
The minutes.

How Time runs
When it wants
It crosses
Bridges slow
Walking
Walking hand in hand
With History.

How Time runs
When it wants
But then
When it be slow
It will be slow
It will be ticking
Breathing heavily
The seconds and
The minutes.
