Mind Versus Time Poem by Michael Fischer

It's my mind versus time;
But time wins every mind.
Twenty four hour days;
Every sale is final!

No returns, store policy;
What, you think you're special?
Patting your rounded back
won't straighten it at all!

Side effects roll over
to the front of my mind.
My options, God's weapon,
have made me bleary-eyed!

Toss the old calendar;
Let's embrace the new year.
We'll keep our promises,
but that's if time allows!

Memories are fading;
The cold sun is setting.
The game is one-sided;
Your life's been decided!
