time

at first, my mind eats time

         then, time eats itself

       eventually, time eats me

 

                               lately,

                                     it seems we're all

                            down

                       to

       crumbs

                   nibbling

                                on

                                   crumbs

working on my brevity. :)

i remember i read a proverb very similar to your first stanza - "at the first glass, the man drinks wine, at the second glass the wine drinks wine, at the third glass the wine drinks the man".
parenthesis over, your second stanza is crushing! excellent conclusion!

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

Brief is good. Pass me a crumblet.

Very graphic details, I can sense some truth in this as well. Very nicely done...xo
