Time
Paul Teodori
Time in timelines in history books is divided into neat even little sections.
But to you and me, time is like a rubber band:
It stretches, stretches, stretches
when you’re bored or when you’re doing something you don’t want to do.
It recoils,
And flies out of your hands when you’re having fun.
Time is merciless.
It pushes and drags us where we don’t want to go;
Towards old age with its wrinkles and arthritis,
Or, worse still,
Towards tragedies, accidents and premature death.
And then?
