Clocktime

Look at the big hand

Overtaking the short hand

Listen to the loud ticking

Taking over your thoughts

It’s a long day, starting at 8

Your already mentally counting

It really is 60 seconds per minute

Your dreams are dry fountains

Nobody breaks the code

Everyone is in silent mode

Your hands grab your throat

Die or get off the boat

Everything you wished for is broke

When was the last time you spoke
