Time’s Secondhand

 Time’s secondhand 


we watch the film 

then talk about it 

listen to music 

consume cultural products 


we talk about 

your favorite novel 

and try to avoid 

politics 


all my memories blur 

with dreams 

actions I take 

copying screens 


I wonder if I ever 

felt anything that

 hasn’t been 

cued by hand


please give me 

new experiences 

something I couldn’t 

imagine myself 


these times have become 

predictable 

we all know how 

this movie ends
