The click clack of my keyboard
competes
with that metronome called
a clock
Time has become surprisingly
fluid
and yet it remains stubbornly
stationary
Seconds, minutes, hours
and days
meekly shudder and humbly bow
sacrificed
I try to turn my life into
an excel sheet
with predetermined fixed
formulae
All plugged in the right
little boxes
with all the right
numbers.
