how we spend our time
this is the question on the table
mostly in sleep - where we can still see you
staunch - unmoveable - whispered about
the other times - in conflict - paid conflict
our job simple - undue the knots - so many
often we just let them rot - time does that - then the strings
fall apart and all that is left is a fine, a few days
an order typed: then done - magic
our magic - the ability to sleep and live and help along the way
and on a certain day - when the sky is gray - pay the tax owed
