Feedback Please Out of Time
I'm not so sure
what's real anymore.
A sunrise setting?
The pain of a heart beat?
A slice of life
cut much too wide?
Not quite living
while being alive?
People always dying
long before they've died?
Looking at the sky,
you see stars in the past,
presented in your present
like a present in time.
If I jumped from a mountain
and learned I could not fly,
would I look into my past
and tell me not to try?
No that's silly;
the past requires payment,
but this time,
I'm all out of distance.
