habits and cycles, one in the same

a tendency that is hard to give up,
a repetition of an action,
these habits and cycles are one in the same.

and although they get me through each day,
they may well also be my undoing.



time is slipping away

they say time is created by man.
but man doesn't command the rising of the sun nor its descent.
man doesn't push these days along.
he only breaks down this passing into ascertainable moments,
moments to be recorded for later referral.
time stamps for our memories.

like the drips from a leaky faucet,
time passes.
whether we count the fallen droplets or not,
the time and the water are gone.
