Time will reveal everything I want to know now.
I wish time was just the name of a street.
I’d drive a black car up and down time.
I’d be happy.

It relates to readers well and how you tied time to a street and yourself to a car was good too!

This is a great metaphor. It lets us feel like we're in control of where we are on the line of time. We can go back, we can speed up, hit the brakes to enjoy a moment, go ahead to see what's coming. I absolutely love it!

I like this poem, very short, but you got the message across. Reminds me of Hemingway. Check out my stuff, it tends to be short also.

I wish time was a blind man over whom I could run my car. I'd run over him, back over him, then do it again--all for the sake of spite.

This is incredible.  I know exactly how the narrator feels, how you could just rewind or fast forward time. (At least I think that's what the message is here.)  I love how it's so short and simple.  It makes it very poignant.

Love it! You captured so much meaning in FOUR lines; that's talent! Keep doing what you're doing, because it's perfect!

If anyone is bored and feels like giving feedback on a poem, can you check out mine? It's called "Rock Bottom" and is in the writing forum under poetry. Thanks!

You could have rambled on forever about sentimentality and everything else for endless verses. Instead you only asked for a few seconds of our time, and it is still as good.

Plus, please check out my poems "True Colors" and "Shoveled" if you get a chance and leave some feedback!

i feel like it's a bit redundant.  simple poems seem to sit with me much more smoothly than a longer one but i feel like this poem is lacking feeling.  the first two lines i felt were setting me up for a beautiful metaphor or introducing me to your message.  the third line kind of threw me off a bit.  i think it would have been more interesting for me to see as a reader, something more along the lines of what names you would've picked or metaphorically traveling down the road...
