"A clock out of time"
Countdown clock,
2 and 24 passed midnight.
There is never enough,
enough time,
enough strength,
enough air
between blade and skin.
The retching pain,
howling noise.
Desperate times and
desperate measures are
deliverance from earths hours.
Blood used as a crutch in a
hospital for the weak.
Cigarettes for scars,
pills of pleasures.
Derailed trains of thought,
crashed cars of emotion
(the headlights and the murder).
It all winds down,
it all slows down,
like a clock run out of time.
