How fast would time go by if you sat in math class and stared at the clock?
You’ve been told how basic everything is

How fast would time go by if you sat in your car, snow falling,
wondering if you’d remember this moment (stuck in the snow)
for the rest of your life- wondering if this is just a phase, or if you
really are stuck and can’t get out?
How fast would time go by if you looked at a calendar
and counted down the days until your IA is due?

how little it all is. So do we all stare and say shame on you,
or cry with you when it’s all said and done?
How fast will time go by when you’re sitting in your assigned seat
at your high school graduation (next to the same people you’ve
sat next to for years) and you look back on your life?
