Time Spent for Nothing

35783 was my address for a very very long time I lived there for six years from the age of four to the age of ten But it felt like 73,050 days time was somewhere between frozen the slow Life wasn’t moving then it just was. It was as slow and big as the earth going around in a circle for a year Time felt forever to me as if the sun cooled down and exploded One could count on things: my Mom and dad as protective like the military saving their country My family being as nice to me as a guy giving away free food to the homeless My gameroom so I can Have chat with my friends for comfort There were a lot of these things Even today the number 35783 sounds like forever
