Time takes time

If royalty was real

the crowns would crack like glass

on marble floors.

As they have, and will,

and do, and do not.

Empty apartments and broken homes

beg and bleed, respectively.

“I don’t know.” An easy one liner.

I’d rather not, I should say.

I just go because movement means something to me.

It’s one of those days

That I can’t escape…I just have to wait and

 wait

—And I don’t know how long it will take.

I’d rather not,

I should say.
