Hours after minutes after seconds
Every single blinking moment
A subtle shift
No more than a sleight of hands
From the clock
Stealing time from under our feet.
We turn around
And tomorrow isn't quite
That other day any more
Too busy becoming yesterday.

Time is a strange phenomina; once lost, hard to get back. Sometimes fast, other times slow. You captured part of this in your verse. Very nice and something I can relate to.
