what time is it now? could you please lend me a minute now? I just wanna question you, how?!

How?! You go past the present & present to future Happy times are faster & sorrowful a bit later Always a clockwise, no look back at anti wise I just wanna question you, why?!

Why?! I try to win over you with a label of timestamp Giving myself a medal, telling this the record-time In science, you’re a scalar quantity if not, the problem is with disparity… I just wanna question you, what?!

What?! are you friend with Mr Age? Both run at the same pace are we running for a sprint or a marathon race?

Don’t mess with me, Hey! I wait to look at the clock hand But you never wait or stop for a Milli-second You know they reject me coz I’m late This not a single reason for me to hate Do I even have an option to make you replaced?

But Hey! Think you taught me a life lesson!

“Time is Money”

“Time & Tide waits for none”

“Life is to move on no matter what”

“Time is not the main thing, but the only thing”

“The two most powerful warriors — Patience & Time”

Kudos Time, you are not my competitor but my partner Thanks for lending me a min, yet it’s already 3 minutes. No tension. Wonder what more you offer in the other dimensions?!
