Time Slip

My leisure was over 
quicker than expected. 
Now I'm back to doing homework 
but keep getting distracted. 
Another glance at the clock 
Another 30 minutes gone. 
And you see, it builds up quickly 
you start off at zero real nicely, 
but a few minutes and a quarter's gone by,
goes from 15 to thirty to 45
where in five minutes the hour is practically over,
intervals of sixties slipping right through your fingers.
Now what felt like forever
just couldn't be shorter.

Oh please, can it all slow down?

I'm afraid I might drown,

Crashing 
past each deadline,

Falling 

through time
