WINKING IN AND OUT TIME
by Claire Voyant
Life comes at each of us all too fast;
Don’t you get tired of always coming in last ?
Seconds, minutes, hours, days: do the math;
I want to find a way off the beaten path.
I want a special room where I can wink out;
Then when I’m good and ready, I’ll wink back in.
There’ll never be a single reason to pout,
Because there’ll always be a way to win.
At the single blink of an eye, I want to disappear;
Time’ll freeze, to a secret special room I’ll go;
I’ll stay there for a minute or even a year;
There’ll be books: seeds to sow and ideas to grow.
Then back I’ll come with the perfect riposte,
And thus my words will make you toast.
