[Valentine 2014] Time

Time




I’m trying as hard as I could,

But maybe, I’m biting more than I should

Chew. There’s always so much more work

To do. I still don’t have time for it all

I need Plane tickets and a

place to stay

And 10,000,000 won

Time, I Still don’t,

Have any




You live in

Shinchon

Right next to

Yonsei

But I’m still

A million

Miles

away

Time

is

running

out




Do

you

still

love me?

I read this in William Shatner's voice.

I will repeat what I have said to you in private that I liked this poem for its references to the real world. Fact mystifies me more than fiction. Fiction is derived from it!

A short piece that's highly contemplative. In order to really bask in the poetic feel of it, one needs to really immerse themselves as though they are the protagonist. Loved the depth of it, and how I could somehow relate to the situation.

I kind of interpret the piece as a melancholic thingy about long distance relationships, and heard some bitter tales about it - mainly I forgotten the details but yea it's kind of heart-wrenching. the best I can do is to wish for the protagonist to be able to reach towards the true love of their lives, and that they can live happily ever after.
