The race against Time

Time lifts his finger from your tail
and your feet scratch at the earth

 

You zig-zag
scrambling over backs
eyes pinned to the vanishing point

 

You run in desperation
but nobody told you why

 

You run as fast and as far as you can
but Time flies

 

You arrive
to find there is no point
just an endless narrowing of lines

 

And Time
who will always get there first
