Time

Incessant. Perhaps better put as Perpetual. The master movement mechanic, As consistent as my healthy heart beat, The ever clever uninvented Perpetual motion machine. It has its circular sway, Monotonic metronome in Measured meter mastered. How uncanny the way it is Laid in such a strange place. Relentless. Definitely better made as Unforgiving. That callous overlord, Carefully creating our caution, The timid terror of the ticking Clocks and mechanics. Analogue or digital measure, Irrelevant ideas indeed seen In this unstoppable being. How cutting the way it is Drained in such a steady way. Ironic. I would rather make as Perfect. This emotional wrapping, Inescapable bliss train towards pain, The warm pulse patterns Make out to mock me. My out of reach song, Your gift was this infernal Perpetual tick tock torture. How fitting the way it is surrounding in such a cloudy night.
