A lifetime by comparison

Someone is flicking
sad strings on a technoguitar

A sad triumph that
signals you're not that far

But you're there
and it means something

Fair people experience fair gains,
and don't see your small pains
are huge in contrast

Simply passed by doesn't
alter your position
My small trip and fall
is four years hesitation

As I race to hear
the sound that signals the end is near
and I am something more
who doesn't have to run anymore.
