He eats time because his bones will need memories
when they are stripped of flesh.
He eats time because whenever he opens his mouth
yesterday’s profanity turns into today’s poetry.
He eats time because his body is a clock
waiting to fill someone’s tomorrow.
He eats time because his days shrivel into ants
gathering around dead conversations.
He eats time because his nights grow into snakes
slinking through aging loves.
He eats time because he needs to breathe:
Against the past, before time eats him.
