over time

he always hoped
to save time

hoarded it 
close to his heart

the tickings
soothed him
the swayings
moved him

he was safe
between minutes
and seconds

but measure by measure
he lost the leisure
that keeps our life
interesting

in his quest
for order and reason
he lost all meaning

and the seasons 
left him behind

dust doesn't wait
for anyone

over time

(end)
