We skip

In the evening we are awake.

In the morning we are asleep.

We watch but do not see.

We see but do not comprehend.

We comprehend but do not appreciate.

We appreciate... and then we forget.

We marvel the instant. For it is eternal!

And now... it's gone!

We enjoy nothing,

nothing except change.

We buy, and spend, and sell, and lend.

We consume items and stuff.

We consume people and us.

We are so many and yet so alone.

We smile, we cry, we laugh, we... skip.

skip

skip

We may read this, but no...

skip

skip

skip

and skip

Finally, the end is nigh for the time is sparse!

We do what we do, because we... skip

skip

and then it is. For we are who we are, but we 

constantly dream of being something else.
