Time Waits For Nobody

Time waits for nobody,
but most people wait for time.
Most people sit
while the clock ticks by.
Some even speed up the hands that fly.

The great brass gears turn
with regular force.
Striding the planets,
and stars of course.
Riding the webs that mark out a life.
Rolling towards the night.
