time

 

August 31

There’s a clock on the wall that he can see from the bed.                                                               Why?                                                                                                                                                         So he can watch time passing?                                                                                                          Tick tick tick

I want to throw something at it.
A phone in every hand
What are we reading?
A calendar on the wall
Flip the page
New month
September 1
Time passing
Tick tick tick
Waiting
Nothing but time
Silence
Chatter
Tears
Laughter
Time…
Tick tick tick
Beat beat beat
Breath breath breath
How long?
Time
No one knows
When a life will begin
Or when a life will end
Tick…tick…tick…
