MOSCOW

time for this, time for that. time to kiss, now that the date is over. time to open doors for people coming up behind. time to get coffee, i am sleepy. time to go home and cry in the dark with a candle lit and the window open even though it is 10 degrees outside and a light snow keeps bears hibernating. time for shots, so we can get drunk. time for a cig and a jig with a jug band and bottle of wine. time to get my act together and write this paper. time to celebrate, paper is done. time for hugs and cheek kisses for my little beautiful perfect niece. time to dream and toss in blankets and wake up and sigh and go back to sleep. time for church to singalong and be forgiven of what you've done wrong. time oh time for no thought of time to not care what time to not worry what time to not give a shit what time; time to pretend we have all the time in the world.
