Time for Cliché by Leslie Sittner

Time won’t tell
if it’s been nicked
or its track is lost.

Time won’t tell
if it’s lasted an eternity
or went by at the speed of light.

Time won’t tell
if it’s just a matter of
or rushed for, or a waste of.

Time won’t tell
if it healed no wounds
or is even on your side.

Time won’t tell
if it’s on your hands
or running out.

Time won’t tell
if it should call it a day
or to just give it up.
