thank yourself(mi hermana)

spin back this way
back to when the days lasted
hours longer the older we get
shorter the days seem
until a point is reached
we actually control
how long they are
might not catch the fever
as often as he does
as the pen won’t stop
at times still have to force the hand
until an empty mind is reached
and a level head felt again
trying to justify inaction
while putting down all these words
time flies no matter what is done
sit down and burn one down together
out west not soon enough
keys jingle and lights flash
someone is taking pictures
eyes meet lens and he looks away
as if he has somewhere to go
he doesn’t
in time find time
to make time for you
you will thank yourself later…
