Taking birth

Growing up

Meeting their mate

And dying

Mayflies

Live their whole lives

All

Within

A

Single

Human

Day

And I'm amazed at the sentient us

You and me

Intersecting

In this small sliver of time

Since the big bang

Not even a blink and a miss in the cosmic frame of things

And yet

And yet

Here we are

Living, loving, leaving and meeting

Till our day ends and the night begins

Till we have time
