Occupy Some Time

Occupy
Some
Time
STAY A LITTLE, THINK A LOT
Life is not a Highway,

And I don’t have a car.

I have a ticket for this seat

And time to kill. Sometimes,

We reach the next station

And forget which is our stop.

Does it matter? Conductor

And coal blast through

Ties, smoke billowing.

And I breathe serene,

Still, intent. Life’s a train

And I just hope we don’t wreck.
