the clock face stares impassively
and i quake under it's gaze
the second hand moves steadily
without missing a beat
awful, dreadful time!
that seprerates me from then
a solid impenetrable wall.
i turn and walk away
though moving forward
in time with the clock,
i know that i have never really progressed
if anything,
i have went back.
living in the past is always so much more alluring than the bright glaringness of today. i need my umbrella again. not to shelter me from the rain but to enjoy the rain with me.
