October #12

falling behind

what can you do
when you stumble off the rolling train?
it's gone before you know it,
and no silver can run like the wind,
to catch you up.
from that moment on
it's the mad dash,
the full out race,
falling faster and faster behind.
a mountain piles up,
days fly by,
and all of a sudden where has the time gone?
halfway through the semester,
ten days til hallow's eve,
six days til your party,
two days and homework's due,
tests to take,
friends to keep small contact with
before they, too, drift away.
oh life's a madcap race,
and there will never be enough hours in the day.
