Strapped for time


A world of fiction has unlimited time 
Non fiction is guarded by a ticking clock 
And the hands move more rapidly then a journalists feet 
Fiction presents many entrances with open door policies 
While reality simply stands among happy and sad truths 
Fiction must plug it's plot holes and fence off any disbelievers from the story 
So that rhetoric doesn't murder the sublime  
Writing unites surrealism with grounding facts 
Ideally I would like to shoot up into the sky on a rhinoceroses back 
But when I start to forget what my brothers eyebrows look like, 
I can inject an itch in the rhinos ears 
So that we land on the hardwood floors of my bedroom 
With the San Francisco sunlight poking through the blinds
