• How interesting, the way that timequeen
    has played me like a card.
    Set me down in proper place
    just to make things hard.
    Life removed the Joker,
    so I’ll have to play his part.
    Here I am, the Queen of Spades,
    posing as the Queen of Hearts.

    How interesting, the way that time
    has robbed me like a crook.
    Put the pistol to my head,
    just like in the books.
    I can’t remember anymore
    all of the things it took.
    I wouldn’t know what was mine
    even if I tried to look.

    How interesting, the way that time
    puts the pieces all in place
    like life is some sort of puzzle,
    a picture of my face.
    Each crooked piece that finds its way
    into another’s space
    takes me one step closer
    to facing my disgrace.

    How interesting, the way that time
    gets away from me.
    So many things I could have done,
    if I had only seen
    how much time I’ve wasted.
    But now time is wasting me.
    I guess it’s time I stopped this rhyme
    and got myself some sleep.
