time within time without us

I tell myself
keep your head up
birds fly
because it's their destiny
and you don't have to
If you don't want to

still I was invited once
and I was trying
but I
don't belong there

and I don't know whether I will
try again

all the essential things
you can't whisper to
the left ear
that plays a blind eye

or to the right ear
that does not want
to hear

all the essential things
can't be understood
if for some they're
irrelevant

at that moment
redundant and
incomprehensible

all the important things
take time
and there's no time

nobody has time

time is in cahoots
with the bad guys
although
in the end
it belongs only
to the free birds

while we remain
grounded
and built in with
bricks

in a timeless world
busy and
isolated

we walk nervously
on the thin
wires
lost within ourselves

and we can't find the way

out
