Another Dimension


Another Dimension

I got tired of pushing the world around today
I took a tiny Nap

The humans 
They will all agree
That there was just something strange about today
That time seemed to move more slowly
That I didn't seem the same

I wasn't pushing the Earth 
With the same force
And I was slow  
Switching the stars with 
Blue Sky 
And the Moon with 
The Sun

And yesterday when I was pushing the world around
My grip slipped 
And I sent it spinning
People’s thoughts tumbling 
Into their sentences more quickly
Their pace
Faster
Our world spinning
Faster

And they will say the day just slipped away
Time moved quickly
And I will sigh 

And I will try to get it right tomorrow
I will try to synch myself up
With the time on their clocks and watches
I will try not to complicate things

By being another Dimension

The humans want to break me into lines
On their watches
They call me Time
They say I'm simple
And that I only fly when they are busy
Or they are having fun

But the truth is
So much stranger than that
