    Drip droppin

    over the line

    we find that there ain't enough

    time

    to relinquish this grip

    that's got our soles

    a piece of time wound round itself

    it's never too late

    or too early

    to start counting

    your blessings

    but any fool knows

    that infinity

    is simply unfathomable

    so why bother with abstractions

    like numbers and meters

    drop your chin

    now lift it with your ears

    can't you feel the millions

    that march on across the seas

    wound round itself

    time

    ain't money

    and it sho don't start over every time

    a somebody call

                                              a somebody respond

    it hovers

    between memory and premonition

    stacking up on our backs

    shaking down our spinal columns

    accumulation

    of beats per minute per

    forever

    the interminable loop

    that keeps heads rockin
