Bound to expire
We are
Bound to expirations
Tied to the timing
Irreversibly committed
To the last hour
The final moment
Constantly marking
Or making
The date
Well enough alone
Most things are
Well enough
And almost always
Alone
Even when shoved together
We enter
And exit
The revolving door
Alone
Never much better
Well is just fine
Fantastic is a ceiling
We'd rather stay
Well enough away from
Since we could never truly rejoice
Alone
In due time
As a barter system
Time is underrated
Paying dues
Is often the only way
To measure anything
Worth having
And yet we are never promised
One more iota
Than what we already have
No one ever really due
Any time
Or any thing
But a process
Can be measured
Quite efficiently
In due time
And is the only thing
Worth a damn
Anyhow
