The Spinning Calendar Blues!A Poem by Michael StevensAt light speed!The Spinning Calendar Blues! I've got the spinning calendar blues, the fast-time blahs. Alright, time, you made your
point--no mas!
Well, mas, but slow your a*s down--please. You're out of control, from what I
sees.
I turn around, and it's tomorrow
already. You're full of yourself, and a bit
too heady.
You seem to think that it's you who is in control, when--okay, I'll grant you that,
but the toll
that you've already exacted ought
to be enough. The challenges you've thrown at me
have been rough.
Reading glasses, aching bones,
early to bed, earlier to rise, the unbelievable scenes as seen
through my eyes.
That is, the one's I can actually
see if I squint. Okay, okay, I've accepted your
rather blunt hints.
I'll admit you're the overlord, but
do you have to move so fast? Hey, it's just that I like you so
much, want to make you last!
