Time Check

Seconds 
minutes
hours

Days
weeks
years

Decades roll on
til they pile up
and bottleneck
as the clock chimes 
yet again

Our relentless chorus

Counting us down

Always there
in the background 
to remind us
with gentle dings

Whispering warnings 
that time is fleeting

Time is forever there

Commanding us
oblivious passengers
to always make the most
of our chapters allotted...

Tick tock bitches
