one second disappeared
never reported missing
the one crucial second
now forever lost in time

maybe stolen and sure
an illegitimate second
a corrupted second
collapsing all time

the only second
that could have lasted
the only real second
you could count on

a fraction of that second would
have broken every world record
the second that could have
changed all history in all times

the haunted second shot down
one missing second to the link of time
the only one second that could
have fulfilled all time
