Killing Time
Killing Time
when i awoke
or upon awakening
all i could hear
was the clock
tick tock tick tock
its slow and steady beat
whisking me
into the future
forever ageing
but then
time stopped still
mostly because i set upon it with a sledgehammer
that stopped the bugger!

Dear M,
Great twist to your ending. That’s one way to stop time. I’ll have to try it myself. Like the style of this format and direct messaging of aging and how it cares about no one. Great write. H🌷

as i was writing, i was wondering how i could stop time on a poetic level, then i thought i could inject some humour, and so ended the poem with a physical solution :)
