As I was watching the clock,
the little gray one in the corner,
I thought I saw the hands falter
at one.

And when I blinked again,
the clock I could not see,
for it had blended in with
the night.

Time warp-wraps around me,
tendrils pulling my hair
and floating across
my eyes.

Like dragonfly wings,
an iridescent sheen
plays behind my eyelids
unfocused blur

But when I look in the periphery
I see my tangled self and
the short days blending
all together.

Like milky cataracts
quarantine is blinding.
And so begins
quarantime.
What day is it today?

there is
so
many
to choose from
yet
who would
ever think to like
lil ol' me

As time pass by
My memories of you die
I had hopes that we'll never say goodbye
but there's no more room for one more lie

I'm done chasing people.
It's way harder that chasing my dreams.
If you want to stay astray
Go on, I'll be out of your way.

— The End —
