Poetry Friday: When the hands of time by Rudy Francisco

Current Song: Without a Trace score music
Current Mood: accomplished
Current Song: Without a Trace score music
When the hands of time
evict the smile from the apartment building of your face.
When you get punched in the esophagus by a fist full of life
Remember
The human heart beats approximately 4,000 times per hour
And each pulse,
each throb
each palpitation is a trophy
engraved with the words
“You are still alive”
. . . So act like it
