Thick and curdled dreams slip past me inebriated tell me lies that bind my back and fill my skies with sonorous bruised clouds like cracked eggshells splintered across an age set before me the horologe weighs me down only numbers seem to count Most seem unable to calculate one life set apart from the ticking oh let me be styled by my own reckoning set aside from the domain of economizing free from lingering gazes in a fishbowl I want my own homeostasis my own diluted grounds

*an attempt at intertwining words about numbers and time, as well as a little post-grad angst, I believe... -Angst, often confused with anxiety, is a transcendent emotion in that it combines the unbearable anguish of life with the hopes of overcoming this seemingly impossible situation...Angst denotes the constant struggle one has with the burdens of life that weighs on the dispossessed and not knowing when the salvation will appear. -Urban Dictionary (if I may)
