The Code , Coma

The Code , Coma

24 Days 
24 Hours
24 Minutes 
And
24 Seconds
Of time have elapsed
Yet according to watch , no time seems to have passed
Since I looked at my wrist last
If I am not delirious the sun has changed places
This diamond has only 2 not 3 bases
Set upon a bed of 22 faces
21 Dream's , 20 Scream's , 19 Various Themes
18 Answers , 17 Dancers , 16 Chances
Try counting to 15 without using 14
13 a charm and if 12 is doubled
It amounts to 24 , As I eluded to before
That's how long the Doctors tell me the coma lasted 4
24 Days
24 Hours
24 Minutes
And
24 Seconds
It appears in reality have passed 
Since I looked upon my wrist last

You have to stop putting I Don't Know on the form Chris. Hmmmm...you are right to be befuddled about the form? Hmmm well I would put free verse..when there's no rhyme put FREE VERSE...the poem is as spooky as the situation must have been (shiver) Light & Love
