Passing the Time of Day

Passing the Time of Day

passing the time of day
before it passes you and passes away
poems to quickly thought of
and sadly, poems that went away
a person who says hello
a person who gets your attention
a person who will not go
sadly kept beneath the bed
memories in a letter
memories which were once things said
in past where the future was something better
and belief was much more easily kept
passing the time of day
before you pass me
and we both pass away
