Around 4:00 AM

Photo/Poem, Photographs 1 Minute 





Around 4:00 AM
With some small urgency
Nature calls, 





So I get out of bed,
Thinking that time
Is deteriorating
Slowly.





Oh so slowly, that





It’ll take a billion years
For time to be
Completely wasted.





Obliterated, 
Gone forever,
No longer existing.





But how,
I cannot imagine.





With my business finished
I make my way
In the dark
Back to bed,





Not knowing
How time deteriorates,





Except
with every single death,





Or worse,





In a life
Of wasted time.
