Chasing Time

Scott Whitby, 2021

It ran

Never looking back

Thought I was lost

Not on its track

It flew

It moved faster

I was slower

But I'm closer

It sailed

It tried to get away

Thought it did

But not today

I chased time

Caught it but too old

If I could hold it down

More than all the gold

Time wiggled free

Left me cold

Not even caring

I'm so old

I'm not done though

I'll be back

When time doesn't know

I'm on its track
