11:29 PM how long has it been 11:29 PM i wonder how many times have we leapt in circles through space, and how long until it will be 11:30 PM i wonder 11:32 PM how long ago was it 11:29 PM i wonder and did my headphones say “small” or “smart” sing it again if you please, i beg of you i just can’t quite catch it the webbing of my ears was built by a faulty spider, drunk on success, he was one too many flies he caught in a day, they say behind hands in soft voices now his work is a mere shadow of what it used to be 8:24 PM i can’t bare moving my eyes upward and seeing 8:25 PM it would make my stomach twist and my organs grow cold 2 minutes line my eyes with dark marks and i’m only existing on a plane of melancholy 2:46 PM i want a reason to be sad i need justification i need a reason not an excuse because the world is cold and my printer broke and i lost my favorite stuffed animal and i’m not a five year old anymore because i ******* hate Nike so ******* much somewhere past 11:23 PM i lost the minutes in a haze of emotional speeches, never to be heard outside the blue-lined walls, and steam a fuzzy 11:40 PM reflects a faint shape of a vessel, carrying one soul, destination; THE END arrival time; unknown eyes brimming with anxiety i exist outside my head only i lost track of the time i don’t know if it’s dawn or dusk or day anymore i only know muted poundings and pathetic drops of water across the floor the white white white white white floor i should get a watch

that clock is inevitable and nonsensical
