the sound of the clock fills the silence
eyes wide awake
the mind restless
t i c k
master the art of distraction
eyes still awake
the mind persists
it's relentless
t o c k
no matter how
bored
tedious
tired
the thoughts still flow
the mind still wanders
t i c k
eyes begin to droop
2:42
the couch appeals to the overwhelming fatigue
t o c k
perhaps not so tired
is there not a switch to this brain?
t i c k
can my eyes just rest shut?
t o c k
the desire to sleep is unbearable
t i c k
the looming thoughts make it unattainable
t o c k
t i c k
t o c k
perhaps she has fallen asleep
the sound of her calm breathing
go in harmony with the
ticks and the tocks of the clock
