Time can flutter by so quietly and secretly that you never saw it coming.
Or it can zoom past you so recklessly that it hits you on its way and knocks you on your ass.
Either way, it never stops to ask if you're okay.
A man came in the other day to sit down for a beer and cheeseburger.
Without a second thought he mentioned to someone,
"People in this down don't live. They just exist."
And I sat there in silence as I realized, shit, this guy just put everything I was thinking, but couldn't vocalize correctly, right out there like a slap in the face.
