time is too fast for me

snowflakes to droplets in seconds as

babes become graduates

before it seems that yesterday has begun

 

sweet caterpillar knows

how to change on a whim

i hold down technology

to teach my husband to breathe

 

knock knock on the car door

wakes me again and i fall

from my graceland

for i can not change

 

time is too fast for me now
