I stubbed my toe

walking too close

to the turning

of the corner

 

Time does it to me

Every way

My toes have been broken

the way a second hand initially needs to be bent to tick

I can feel it

slipping and releasing

slows gravity for a moment

the little bones are broken

and no matter how many corners I try to cut

you have passed
