Poetry Submission

A Matter of Time

Is it really
On our side?
Just when it seems,
I've got some to kill,
I am surprised to realize
That I have been its slave
And it is slowly killing me.
Fortunate are we that
In quantities large enough
It heals all wounds.
So why
Can't I
Turn it back?
If I could
Take a little
Of it,
To figure out
How to stop it
In its tracks...

I don't believe it!
Times up.

  2. The found item I used was the Cinematheque flyer. The movie is called "Examined Life." At the same time, you were keeping us on track, insuring that we finished the assignment in a timely manner. While I was writing I kept hearing the final Jeopardy theme song in my head and this is what I produced.
