The Impossible Horizon

Time seems to choose

The least-helpful pace

At all times

School seems to

S       t      r      e      a   c h

Summer seems to

crumple

And then

End.

Will time continue this way

All of my life?

Does life just stretch and bend

At the will of time

For all of eternity?

From where I’m standing

Here

Now

It seems to go on

Forever

Never ending

Way too long

It’s a finish line

That doesn’t ever come

Somewhere in the impossible horizon

Looking at it

From where I am now

Seems as though I’ve covered two steps

And have a million more

It makes me want to

Cry.
