November 11th | "Tick Tock"

This clock of mine
has four hands
instead of three,
because he likes
to keep track of time
right down to the T,
and so that
every millisecond
is spent 
with me.

That clock of mine,

it broke

unexpectedly

one day

and I tried to piece it

back together

or perhaps

find another way,

but I couldn't

and I shouldn't 

anyway

because it's unable 

to be fixed,

and irreplaceable.

This clock of mine

has two hands

instead of three,

because keeping track

of something

like time

is like

catching dry ice

in your bare hands

and swallowing it

whole.
