I’m a Hámster trapped by Time

by Everlasting   Nov 26, 2017


Time,
has always been keeping me on the clock

i run in circles
chasing life
counting every second
and even the ones
I have yet to run

it’s as if
I’m a hamster
spinning
in a wheel
that never
stops

i go in loops
feeling
like Time
spins faster and faster
and I just can’t
keep up

    I noticed this piece right after you posted it but I did not say anything about it to see if anyone else would recognize its brilliance.
    This is a fantastic surrealistic venture in temporal cognition of universe. It reminds me of some of my own. Because as you perhaps know, I am obsessed with this subject, and of course its special correspondence.
    I wrote a critical analysis of this poem, though I throw it away due to some personal concerns.
    But as a member of this site I had to let you know that I've found a trace of ingenuity in this piece. I think the hamster simile is brilliant. And the last two stanzas are phenomenon.
