Time will reveal everything I want to know now.
I wish time was just the name of a street.
I’d drive a black car up and down time.
I’d be happy.

Very true. I can feel the same way, and the feelings that you are expressing are great. Don't be afraid to write anything!

This is incredible.  I know exactly how the narrator feels, how you could just rewind or fast forward time. (At least I think that's what the message is here.)  I love how it's so short and simple.  It makes it very poignant.

This poem is great. I also would like "time" to be the name of a street and drive up and down it.

Love it! You captured so much meaning in FOUR lines; that's talent! Keep doing what you're doing, because it's perfect!

If anyone is bored and feels like giving feedback on a poem, can you check out mine? It's called "Rock Bottom" and is in the writing forum under poetry. Thanks!

You could have rambled on forever about sentimentality and everything else for endless verses. Instead you only asked for a few seconds of our time, and it is still as good.

Plus, please check out my poems "True Colors" and "Shoveled" if you get a chance and leave some feedback!
