growing up

bones stretch over timelines of heartbeats

5 x 10^8 seconds on a clock

i want to take the time i need

but things are moving so fast,

life begging me to hurry up.

we move along so quickly, time and time again

generations change and grow and i

am a stone in a river, pushed along,

kids become teenagers become adults,

1.9 x 10^9 seconds left.

3 x 10^7 minutes left.

546,624 hours left.

growing up, growing up,

hold on, hold on,

life is almost done.

i guess while i was sleeping,

we grew up.
