you can only fit so many 15 seconds in 2 minutes.
the steps on the grass move with grace.
long socks and rows of corn.
the time passes with each wave of an arm.
a skirt that doesn't fit but flows.
the people dance and jump to the music.
they've got 3 minutes of freedom.
where do you stand among them.
in the high and dry grass.
the small cup full of ice.
the key board rings out a message.
the feet move to a special song.
20 seconds to mow the lawn.
how many square miles do you have?
the heavy skys lets a breeze ruffle the wheat.
hardwood floors have cracks in them.
foot steps imprint themselves into the walls.
that button up shirt won't burn forever.
the keys to the house will drown forever.
nothing silver can stay.
the rust of metal eats the corn.
the sunflower is gone in 3 second flat.
a couch is empty with a hat in the corner.
the bee flutters over the mattress.
a night gown and some silk sheets wait for the mistress.
the train rolls down the tracks in the clouds.
the heavy sky lets the water in.
the grass lets fingers grow.
but the time on the clock with never let cardboard grow.
