Moments of rest revive me, refresh me

Like a slap, a sniff of brandy in the old days

Nobody can run off air

I look at my pillow with one eye, the horizontal world, sliver of a bedroom

Did I slip that far? A moment ago it was noon and then a year passed.

From heaviness to light, like a Vedic prayer.

I like to spend time with you now, I need to.

It is the way my time makes sense

Not a foreign currency which cannot be exchanged

But valuable tender, valuable time.

When did humans decide to turn time into money?

It must’ve been the pivotal moment when everything changed

If you could follow the yarn, you’d come to the knot

The kind that can’t pass through the eye of the needle

When time became money, we got stuck on the other side

But something magical has happened now

We have been given words through which to understand it,

To understand her

I want to, need to, spend time with her.

And no,

I’m not depressed.

I just crave that slap that only she can give

The cool slap of love on Earth.
