My Endless Pursuit

I don't want to be a bore

But sometimes I think Time might like me more

If I did nothing

And aspired to even less.

Because my demands for it are so high:

I'm always decreeing "I need more Time!"

Like a mutated White Rabbit.

I think Time thinks I'm too much work.

I don't know how to make it more generous.

Is there a trick for getting more Time?

I don't want to bribe or cajole;

I don't want to coerce

But shit, I wish there were just a few more places

Where Time could be gathered

Like coins by Mario

And I could store them up in golden piles

And dip into them when I needed to

And extend a minute like elastic

To fit.

That would be magic.
