Time Warp

Sometimes when I look at the clock the numbers vibrate back and forth. They spin around and tessellate before my eyes. I have to squint hard and strain myself to really see them straight. Its like the numbers are eager, hungry to move foward. They threaten to go speeding ahead, careening out of control, leaving me behind in their fury. I am afraid to be left behind, this is just a sign that the world is spinning too fast for me. Hold on, let me take a seat, let me stand back and observe for awhile. My mind is slow, my limbs are rusty, I don't even have a pair of running shoes. How am I supposed to keep up?
