I never took seconds nor minutes seriously.
In fact, I used to think that time ran too slow.
I had nothing much to ‘see’ in the present.
The longing for ‘tomorrow’ caused impatience.
It made me not want to linger at all.

But now, with this life of routines and time constraints,
it takes all the effort to keep things slow.
I am now in my ‘tomorrow’,
I want to see.
I must linger.
