late

stop staring

at the clock

 

listen to it

tick

and talk

 

pause time.

 

remember who

you are,

were,

and could be

 

now stare at it

 

watch its hands

itch its way

around

in a circle

 

watch your life

fuse its way

into

time bombs;

 

explode your memories

at midnight

 

shed your Cinderella dreams

 

leave them

helplessly

waiting

to be

cherished

 

ask Father Time

for five more minutes

of Peace

 

before you wake up

from your Nightmares
