Time cannot be kept
You cannot hold it
Lock it away
In order to make it stop
It slips under doors
And out of key holes
For a moment you may feel
As though your grip
Is sufficient
As if the smiles
On the faces
Of your babies
Shall be kept frozen
In your own mind
They won't
They will roam in and out
Never as clearly
As the moment you thought
"I must make sure to remember this."
One day you will wake up
Without noise and nonsense
Without cold little feet
Grazing your legs
Or incessant talking
About dreams of mermaids
And the insatiable need
For a proper breakfast, stat
One day you will realize
Although time cannot be kept
It should have been more cherished
We will wonder
How we missed so much
Why we didn't breath in joy
Like air
Why we didn't work harder
To laso time into
Submission
Or atleast
Build more sufficiant doors
To lock it behind
