POEMS ABOUT TIME

Time—the one thing we all have but never quite enough of. Is it a friend or a foe, a thief or a gift? This chapter invites us to explore the fascinating dance we share with the ever-ticking clock. Through humor and reflection, these poems ponder the fairness, mysteries, and quirks of time, gently nudging us to reexamine how we use it. Whether time feels like it’s racing ahead or stretching endlessly, how we experience it is often shaped by the stories we tell ourselves.

THE FAIREST MAN I KNOW playfully explores the paradox of time—constant yet ever-changing. It personifies time as a figure who treats everyone equally, yet feels entirely different depending on who you ask. This poem playfully reminds us that how we experience time may just depend on the story we choose to tell.

TOMORROW gently nudges us to reevaluate our relationship with time, blending humor with a deeper message. While "tomorrow" is a word full of promise, it often becomes a cozy hiding place for procrastination. This whimsical poem invites us to reflect on how often we lean on “tomorrow” as a crutch and challenges us to embrace the present moment as a chance to begin anew.
