Tick Tock Doom


How much prescience

did you leave behind

futures left unfelt

 

How much transience

were you denied

with aces left undealt

 

How many doors

stayed closed and shut

no matter how hard you knocked

 

How many chances

did you waste

— as you slaved before the clock

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2025)
