Since

By Mary E. Adair

Since Time insists on sprinting by
    Since Summer days are oft' asizzle
Since newborns ceaselessly gurgle and cry
    Since Winter days are oft' adrizzle
Since children may require schooling
    Since elders may rock their days away
Since news reports may just be fooling
    Since when do teens hear what you say
Since water may simply bubble and flow
    Since water may freeze and turn into ice
Since therefore one's life may define one so
    Since one always tries just to be nice
Since seconds coagulate into hours
    Since hours coalesce from then to thence
Since bumble bees buzz betwixt beauteous bowers
    Since when do my words make Sense
