can you hear the clock tick-
it pulls its strength from you

your body is
consuming itself- slowly

now faster
and faster
and gone

can you hear the clock-
it's ticking away
do you know it is
taking you with it?

i can hear the clock
i can see the end
why do you
play pretend?

your body is eating
itself. inside out.

you have moments
no, wait,
tick
less.
tick
yet again.

and again
and again,
and again..
