Description
"Is it time yet?"

You interpret the teenager's laughs:
Old fool. He doesn't even know where he is.

you gaze into the grass
a quivering spark
floats in the pupil
of one motionless eye

speed and accuracy
have long since worn out
so you have with them
as time slowed down

and you remember
when the ground shook
the helpless feeling,
the lack of fear

you swore to yourself
that you'd never forget anything
but muscle and memory
withered before your eyes

old enough
to have amassed the world's knowledge
old enough
to be unable to use it,
but to be concise

If you have no regrets, then 'sorry' means nothing.

old enough
to understand sacrifice
and impotence

My happiness would be ensured by everyone's happiness but my own, but since that would ensure my happiness, it cannot happen.

you don't smile at the teenagers
they don't know what you've seen
or how to be okay with it

or how beautiful and sad it feels
to need peace

"Is it time yet?"
