sparring with time

time and i get in the ring and i am aware

of just one thing

he could knock me out at anytime

but he is aware that i will probably get a few licks in

so we train together in mutual respect

i do not try to deny his superiority and he lets me fumble around

which i call life

i am a happy carefree idiot and since i know that this world can no longer harm me

we talk and i can sometimes feel his affect as we converse

but i am not his slave even though he is the master

he has taught me to accept things and forget about liking them

that has allowed me to live at peace with unresolved issues

i sit with Him and we reflect how he has molded me and how i have tried to resist in futility

but shaking his head he respects me for trying

heyyyyyyy that was a low blow you bastard, as he laughingly walks back to his corner
