There's this point I'm in now
Where
I am doing this
And
My mind changes
Now I'm doing 
That.
Watch tv
Okay
Do some homework
Next
Read a book
Done.
What to do with my time
I can only
Squander it away.
Time.
What a concept 
The watch
That goes
Round 
And 
Round.
The sticks that are big
And small.
Time.
I can only
Squander it
Away.
