Time

I hate time. I wish it would stop. 

I wish time would pause, take a break, and forget to restart. 
I wish the hands on the clock would inexplicably 
stop ticking their way through moments 
that will never come back. 
I wish the squares on every calendar were empty 
with events that would never occur. 
I wish the air would still and the world would be deafened 
by the harshness of complete silence. 
I wish the details in my memory weren't diminished 
by days of mindless routines and mundane expectations. 

Yet... if time was gracious enough to stop...
would there truly be a point in ever existing?
