Racing clocks and stomping feet.

Racing clocks and stomping feet.

A Poem by Sarah McKeever Hitt

I am nothing if not a fool
racing clocks and stomping feet
Calling phony telephone numbers
and talking to myself
Hanging on imagination
pretending every second is a second closer 
to hand holding and cotton candy sharing
while living a life less exciting
until you are my new normal.

But what is normal
Is it not when things make sense
and then have no choice but to become dull
Is a normal day sunshiny and clear 
or is it the sort where the bus is late
and the clouds burst into rain and 
you can't get the last words your long lost love
said to you out of your head?

If the later is true than I am normal now
all but living in a fantasy
That I wish were more interesting 
because of you.
