Brothers and Sisters

I’m filling holes in time,
telling lies.
Lying to myself,
by filling holes in time.

I waste my time
by filling holes, moving,
one place to another,
keeping busy,

avoiding truth.
I’m filling holes,
to smooth the surface,
bury truth.

I am not alone.
I am lonely.
Look around.
All my brothers, all my sisters;

filling holes in time.
