Hourglass

 I found myself rolling down

On a slow and jagged path

Lookalikes rolled down with me

Some with blessings some with wrath


I found that in simpler times

My smoothness was facing down

Then the tables turned around

Jarring edges scraped the ground


Then I found there is no ground

Only edges just like mine

Getting hurt, hurting in turn

Shrugging with a plastic smile


Drifting bits of some unknown

Bound nowhere but pushing past

In the distance is a heap

Screaming, ' Hurry, make it fast'


And it dawned on me one day

When I woke up in my sleep

This is just a twisted plot

Down an abyss truly deep


Crowding at the hole to pass

Just some weary grains of sand

Says the tipping hourglass

'Don't seek answers, understand'
