My Timeline

This timeline

Of mine

Breathes

Into the mind,

And exhales

Out into reality.

And it can go

So many ways;

Too many ways;

All of the

Ways

This timeline of mine

Can go.

I can’t force her,

Or grab her,

Or slow her down.

She marches on,

Taking me

Anyway

She wants to.

I let go,

Close my eyes,

And ride the ride,

That is

My timeline.
