How long is a year?
At once it is infinitesimal, fleeting,
but also it is arduous and tortuous.
As you can live a lifetime in minutes,
so it is compounded by months.
A year can seem longer,
when you see so many years to come.
Busy, or quiet, the time passes unevenly,
like your life is stop-and-go traffic.
The escape of activity is followed
by the uneasy introspection of silence.
