Not this time.
He washes his watches
He also watches his watches
Standing on the little hand going around, he gets nauseous
His conscience
is telling him to get on the big hand
and go slow
He has the innate ability to tell his brain no.
Irony.
He is on top and bottom of his own hierarchy
Drowns in the clock like ocean
He’s running out of time or should he swim?
Time never stops even if the watch is broken
I wonder if he’ll ever see it again
Because we throw away things that are broken
But still keep things that don’t work
This time I’m going to wash it and reuse it like an old shirt
They tell me “You can’t wash broken things”
But you can fix them
They won’t float in the ocean
But you can ship them
Then you could sail them
Now if anybody watches
This what I’d tell them:
the time.
The time is now
My brain functions like a clock.
Want to how?
Well it moves to three different pacing
slow, medium, and fast
It’s steady, but never stops changing
It makes me laugh
Will I ever listen to my conscience?
Not this time.
