Shift 13

there's still time, never not time,
to attend to things, the lips pursed
presented by a friend, the laugh
lingering in the morning,
from the night before, nights before,
the eye resting on temptations,
innocently tendered, the silent brush
of stranger against stranger, the rush of blood
for its reason, unrelenting,
your remembrance in the pulse,
its unrepenting repetitions, to tell the time by :
your time, attending to things
