I need an analog clock. I want to hear the slow, soft click of its hands as time trudges forth. That constant reminder of age, death, and insecurity. How ******* pathetic. I’m ******* pathetic. I want to buy a clock And then I want to break it. Time is meaningless. Everything is important Everything is important Everything is important Nothing is forever. People seem to find this to be sad, or bleak, or dismissive But they ignore the larger tragedy: We go willingly.

All night and Infinity
I need an analog clock. I want to hear the slow, soft click of its hands as time trudges forth. That constant reminder of age, death, and insecurity. How ******* pathetic. I’m ******* pathetic. I want to buy a clock And then I want to break it. Time is meaningless. Everything is important Everything is important Everything is important Nothing is forever. People seem to find this to be sad, or bleak, or dismissive But they ignore the larger tragedy: We go willingly.
