Time in not mine

Time in days of gravel in toes,
like when will the next bag
of Chips Deluxe Cookies arrive?
(two weeks)
And how long will we make them last?
(a day or so)

The waiting for things beyond fingers
now less for edibles
and more of intangibles
like
when will it be easy?
(two more years some say)
And how long will we last hanging on?
(a question I see resting under someone else's fingers).

Those things all out of reach,
delicious when someday mine.
