Time Enough

Time enough to change

Time enough to live

To love

To breathe

To want

 

You know the direction

It’s the choice you make

Sullen dunken steamin

You see the call

You heed the sound

Your body says one thing

Chaos another

Biology resonates

Morality jars

Stop, you scream

 

Dull sodden wretch

The self curse rings out

An impossible penitence

Actions undone

Pleasure felt yet unfelt

Lets break it all up

Into its constituent particles

 

Navel gazing is no way to solve problems

Decisions decisions decisions

No expunging of records

Actionville leaves its mark

Like it or not

Public or not

Its all public anyway

Even in the most private of eyes

 

You would think that you made an escape

You would think that you have good to report

On the morality score card

You think that you finally beat it: the shit ride

 

Time enough to accept

Time enough to reject

Time enough to love

Time enough to hate

Time enough to live

 

Singular ache

Singular break

Stop missing the mark I tell you

Stop missing it.
