Measuring Time
The tick tick tick of time
registers the seconds and minutes
hours and days
years and decades
of lost youth
years spent unfrugally
squandered
for the benefit of others
more important than me
or so it seemed
Poe’s pendulum swings
measuring the beat beat beat
of my heart
as time ebbs away
compressing my future
and the hope
of hearing Freedom’s ring
signally the day
when being gay will be okay
