Late and Tired

I have a picture of myself
and it is younger every day.

My younger smile is happier
and less joyful; more sinful
and less guilty; more earnest
and less sincere than that same
smile, the day before.

I think it is because I cannot move
through time, but time moves through
me, and so I grip the present like a
train grips a track, and the past
recedes into the distance until it drops
off the horizon into sudden...

Sleep.
