Time.

Time,
I hear you walking
your steady, constant pace
(but sometimes, I
think you trick me and
run, skip or fly.

You seem to get
ahead of me, or
sometimes, drag
your feet
behind.).

We work mostly fine
Together, you and I
(Yet there be times
when you seem
oblivious to me,
walking on ahead
while I pant to
catch up.

Sometimes I forget,
and you've gone
ahead
to turn another
page.).
