Song 01 – “A Thirty Second Song”

The first song of this challenge is a rather short one:

A Thirty Second Song

It isn’t very long—
my thirty second song—
   but that is all the rules* allow.
The seconds go so fast
(already eight have passed)
   but moments can be full, somehow.

Recalling that this song’s no more than half a minute,
you’d hardly expect great profundity within it;

but, nonetheless, you’d find
that, if I were inclined,
   I’d have important things to say
which need not take much time;
alas, however, I’m
   avoiding deeper stuff today.
This thirty second song
is not so very long;
   in fact it must be over now.

*  simple rules for a thirty second song:  it must be a song which lasts thirty seconds exactly; bridges are optional.
