RAMBLINGS OF AN OLD LADY

TIME LIKE A FLY

WALKING THROUGH SURYP.

MOVES SO SLOWLY

YOU CAN FEEL YOUR SKIN CRAWL.

TIME LIKE A FLY

WITH WINGS OF LEAD

CAN'T SEEM TO GET OFF THE GROUND

LIKE DREAMS OF A DISTANT YOUTH.

TIME LIKE A FLY

EYES WITH NO SIGHT

WILL NOT TRUST THE SENSE

TO KEEP YOU FROM HARM.

TIME LIKE A FLY

DYING FROM POSION AIR

LUNGS FULL OF TAINTED BREATH

YOU FALL INTO SEMICONSCIOUSNESS.

TIME LIKE A FLY

MOVES OVER YOU LIKE THICK OIL

COVERING YOU FROM HEAD TO TOE

STIFFLING ALL YOUR CREATIVITY.

Hi Renee You told the story so well... Great read! Roz :)

Those are the most unpleasant times, when the weight of time sets on our shoulders and we can't shrug it off. You have interpreted this weight with lucidity. I usually don't like poems of despair, but I read this over again because you told it so well. Ken

Rennee', Whoa - what a great overall sense of the stifling that surrounds us all - you obviously have broken out of it and are on a roll - keep 'em coming, for the benefit of us all - these musings into the poet's innards are always compelling when written this well. Walter
