it goes tick..
..tock
and by the time the second changes
she has already
gotten out of bed
stretched
and opened the window wide to let the morning in
and by the time the minute changes
she has already
brushed her teeth
combed her hair
and found the perfect outfit
and by the time the hour changes
she has already
gone outside
smiled at a few strangers
done a bit of work
and relaxed for a little while
and by the time the day changes
she has already
re-lived her life so far
understood some more of herself
and found a little room to grow
and by the time the week changes
she has already
come up with a solution to world hunger
found a cure for cancer
and one for the common cold
and by the time the month changes
she has already
died.
