by RD McManes
life is full of special moments
spaces between the lines
lines between spaces
never knowing how long
or short, one may last
sometimes we miss them
too busy to pause
too busy to look
too busy to enjoy
a simple moment
once an analog mechanism
rhythmically ticked
a systematically tock
under crystalline glass
but that’s all in the past
time no longer ticks
and when it’s gone
quicker than quick
it’s in a luminous flash
