Favorite Quote:
Let Earth unbalanced from her orbit fly / Planets and Suns run lawless through the sky. <br /> An Essay on Man - Alexander Pope


Time clung to my ankles
And grasped my hips
It wandered my rib cage
And danced on my lips

And time, with its dreams,
Begging for chance
Held out its hand
And asked me to dance


The author's comments:
A simple poem, inspired by staring at a clock for fifty minutes.
