Weird Kid

 

(for Erik, Kevin and the mathletes at PMHS)

 

 

What do you want to

be when you grow up?

 

Time.

I want to be time.

 

What?

 

Time.  It rules all.

It destroys all,

but it flows right along.

We're all trapped in it,

except God, and

He's timeless.

 

Uh, I don't think

you'll be able to be Time.

 

You asked me

what I wanted to be,

not what I would be.
