Luxury

When I was young,
so very young,
and I had all the world and time
for every venture,
for every fancy’s flight,
still
I never had enough.

Now,

I cram an hour in an instant,

And luxury is easily found.

Waking Hours

I have made friends
with every hour on the dial of the clock,
pressed it, late and early, light and dark,
into my baby’s service;
and knowing all the times, all their individual shades,

am afraid of none of them.
