seconds on the clock keep on ticking

becoming the minutes on my side

becoming the hours in my bones

in my soul

seconds tick down the seemingly unmanageable 

minutes logged in and counted

time i store up

time i collect

days are contained in my body

weeks, months, and years

every time i say

yes okay i can do this now

i will do this now

millions of seconds 

how many hours in this part of my wrist?

how many times have my feet done what they needed to?

all time wrapped up into the movements i do

better i get

more capable

i understand more

because of all the seconds, minutes, hours 

every day
