MoP 7: Slippery things

Eels

and snakes

and slowcoach snails

and other

slippery things with tails

Oil

and sand

and slimy goo

powder,

dust, and jelly too

These

are things

that slip away

like every

tick of every day

Spring

Summer

a sunny day

a puppy,

or a child at play

Your

twenties

your teenage years

squandered on

wasted time and fears

Gone

before

you know it

just one chance

so don't you blow it.

Put

away

your phones and screens

and grasp

for all those slippery things.
