personal earthquakes

the wares of time
       increments of fleeting and stalling
       entwined with momentum
                               forwardness - yours/someone else's
collecting seconds
a bank filled with too long glances
      distractions, near misses      
       saved up, hidden from
where times goes - the forgotten parts of it
                               painful moments shredded from memory
like pages ripped from a magazine
glossy and thin like promises
recycled with the inevitability of wanting to linger
      - and knowing better
time that, regardless of your participation, builds relentlessly upon itself.
