Eternal Now

I came to 
Strapped to the clock
With wires and meters
Stuck into my flesh

Measuring and monitoring
Dishing out to me
In small capsules
Moments of time

Forced to swallow 
To observe
Whitewashed landscapes
Blurry images in harsh light

Numbed by an eternal today
Living in a moment
The never-ending sameness of seconds
Narcotic of repetition.
