Last Night Time Passed So Quickly
last night
time passed so quickly
i did not even
notice that
the people in the house
where i live
had already taken dinner
washed their plates
kept them back
in the cabinet
and watched
soap opera
and then closed
the doors and windows
and slept
i only noticed the
change when
there was that
silence
that shouted
i have
been unfair
and too
insensitive
when poetry
seems to
be my whole
life when
nothing counts
anymore
except my
choice of
words
and living with
them
all alone.
