grains

old man time

his back aches

he's tired and worn out

he never gets a break

the sun has risen

but never set

his day grows longer

and longer

never to cease

he's tired

never a moment's worth of peace

poor man

decrepit with old age

he still marches

at a regulated pace

keeping everything

at the proper space

he never gets sick days

or ever has an emergency

monotony is the only thing

that keeps him company

doomed to a life

of repeated solidarity
