time


the shock of ice water down my spine
you have parkinson's

a vertigo of terror
dissipated melted warmed with time

time
i never had enough of it
i was always racing against it
fighting it
filling it

with empty-ness
with busy-ness
with stuff
with guff

now time stretches all around me
i luxuriate in it

i am dis-abled
my movements are dis-ordered
my moods are dis-organized sometimes too

but i know what i can do
and i know what i want
and i know why i'm
here

it's time
