Obsolescence

Time immemorial
Individuals stepped in line
Before them, a bank of time
So they would get their share.

—Here, take your time
It’s yours to keep, yours to lose.

I took my time allotment
Put on a smile, as if to say
“Watch me sell this.”

Take it or leave it
Your call to survive.

For ever has always been a fishy pitch.
Yet never was always too much time.


P.S: If that’s not me losing my mind yet, watch me.
