Full Stop

Swamped in the wrath of small meaning 

I gouge what little life is left 

In the moments I was swept up in

But looking back, they now mean very little 

 

The clock gobblers came and held true to their name

Since arriving Ive yet to see the hands peel back and unwind

To see the minutes sift through the glass passage 

Or even the way your hands wrap on the table in wait

 

The face no longer ticks just as I now have my own ticks

Nothing moves anymore, grows anymore 

The poor inanimate humanity 

Watching forever—in its endlessness
