"Know how to live the time that is given you."
Dario Fo

My existence is odd
I’ve got
No reason,
No rhyme,
No phone, no pool, no pets,
No,
All I’ve got is time.

Our existence seems curious
Some are rich,
More dwell in grime.
But be it Mother, Brother, Lover,
All we have is time.

Your existence feels alarming
But put every thought aside
And life is made quite crystal
All you have is time.

All you are is what you do with it.

* should say "more dwell in grime", as oppose to "most", my mistake. Doesn't make any difference I know but hey, I'm picky.
