Out Of Time

Once upon a time
in another dimension,
there wasn’t enough time
to let the future happen
at normal speed.

So everything kept happening
faster and faster until all
the future was nearly
happening at once.

Imagine living a lifetime
in a split second
no wonder there was a big
BANG

When everything did happen at once.

In no time, the future exploded
creating our universe
and it’s taking time
to space things out,
14 billion years so far.

Trouble is,
my birthdays
keep getting
closer together.
