Catching Time

ive tried catching time
8:30 in the morning
ive come close
several times 8:29...8:31
a few occasions
ive missed 8:30 literally by a few seconds
but still, somehow
he eludes me
and slips through my fingers
oft believing, i will never catch him
i think some times
are just impossible to catch
9:37pm i find equally as elusive
and difficult
and sometimes is a master of disguise
as sometimes uses the pseudonym
of 21:37
and on other occasions
tricks me
by being in different places
at different times
and by the time i get there
time has moved on
it's a funny thing
that as i get older
time seems to speed up
if i could only slow it down
i did once
make time stand still, but replaced it's battery
and by that time
i'd lost track of what the real time was
so now, i just let time
pass me by
is that the time?
must fly......
