Clock

i want to have a baby with you and name him Henry
i can see his fat red cheeks and brown hair
green eyes like yours
i just imagaine that our love will grow into a child
that will in turn grow and solidify us
it's too soon
life is in the way
there are degrees to be earned and money to be made
my mother wants me to wait, to work, to be educated, to be adult
i don't know that i will ever fit her idea of an adult
but i know i have a lot of love to give
and it is certain that a small man must be created
to carry your good looks into the future
i am growing deaf
from the sound of my ticking clock
so soon, so young, so much desire
i am impatient
i am friends with greed with hope with yearning
i will wait for time to give me Henry
but i won't like it
