Time, The Absent Father

By Mia Pratt

Time is an absent father
who doesn’t show any loyalty
for anything under the sun
in the blink of an eye
it dashes away like a sprinter
faster than it first came by
never stopping, never turning back
never sacrificing, never making excuses
it keeps plugging away at the speed of a UFO
like capturing a shooting star on the lens of a telescope
that will never stand still
