The Time, Time Stopped

I'm Not Late, Afterall

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Once upon a time, you can believe it or not...

Time stopped, awkwardly still

At this precise moment, and spot

*

No-one knows why, or even bothered to knock

They just ignored it

Once upon a time, you can believe it or not...

*

Being how I am, I can't let things go

I do take exception

I'm bothered, ya know?

*

Why don't you tell me, why did you stop moving

At this precise moment

What are you disapproving?

*

Time looked at me, without moving an inch

I don't know why you care

Won't more time, help you a smidge?

*

I looked at my watch, and the list in my hand

Gave him a wink

And said, well I'll be damned

I never interfered with time stopping again
