ticks

time to understand time
and its lengths, its spans; quick and infinite
probably not fully - not even when i die
even though i will know the entirety of human time then...

...for now, instantaneous gratification is ruining me
i see how soon works that much is clear
but longer is harder to conceive
as i age, longer becomes shorter
and as such, my ability to withstand times ticks increases

for now, seconds are days
i need days to be seconds
i will wait and wade waist deep
through time
until then
whenever then may be
