Arts for the 21st Century

Another Week Winding Down

I measure out my life in weeks,

week-after-week,

 

weaker and weaker

as the weeks go by,

as they accumulate

 

like massive bricks of time

until time and I crumble, tumble down

 

those pyramids of Egypt,

the three massive ones

on the Giza Plateau, still standing

 

after all these weeks,

after all these years,

 

after all this time,

standing strong,

standing tall
