"Timekeeper"
timekeeper/timekeeper/timekeeper
the
paper moon
is waiting
my
heart is
filling
to capacity
in anticipation
broken
down minutes
tic/toc/tic/toc/tic/toc
deconstructed
moments
tic/toc/tic/toc/tic/toc
we
are all
in denial
of the present
(tic/toc/tic/toc/tic/toc)
quick,
one full
circle clockwise,
24 hours
closer
to the next
sunrise
and
i am blinded
by the salt
and the
tears in
my eyes
flitting
debaucherously
through
the years
bestowed
upon me
run/run/run
you,
with the
stopwatch!
how fast
can i make
it there
you,
in my future!
can you
wait?
run/run/run
too
damn many
planets
for me to
remember
them all
circling
ceaselessly
around the
scathing
star
i
didn't even
stop my
car long
enough in
rush hour
to
ask if i
could see
venus crossing
the sun
once
every 122
years
run/run/run
fill
me with
minutes
and multitudes
of experiments
fill
me with
moments
and manufactured
vibrancy
if
you're in
a hurry,
you're already
dead
if
you're watching
me, i'll
guess you
don't fit
in
if
you're timing
us from
start to
finish,
you know
how this
all ends
