One hour to the next

Time
passes
morning rush
a whirlwind
bursts of energy
to embark
disembark
arrive
depart
stop
start
life in fast forward
rewind
never paused
never stopped
one place
to
   the
       next
             to
               the
                   next
and back again
time
passes
night traffic
peak traffic
time ticks
too fast
quiet time
never enough
to embark
disembark
arrive
depart
stop
start
only to do it all again—
tomorrow
