Watching time

by - Thursday, April 21, 2016

Time froze, 
father time existed but refused to make the seconds tick forward. 
Each moment kept unticking away:

6:05 and six seconds. 6:05 and five seconds, 
four, three, two, and one second. 
Time went by fast, true, but that was only because time slowed down faster.
6:07pm. The old time fart let the minutes move forward. 

6:08 now. 
If time was moving forward how can it still untick away?  
6:08. 6:08 and twenty seconds. 
6:07.

6:09! 
Tick. Untick. Tick. Untick. Tick.
6:11 pm. Can I sleep now?
6:11 and fifty-one seconds. 

6:00pm. 
I don’t think we’re back to the beginning of class.

6:13. Since when did writing become this hard? 
How can my motivation untick like the time? 
I hope the teacher doesn’t notice.

6:12pm. 6:12 and two seconds. 6: 11 and 55 seconds.
Let time freeze. Let it stop completely. At least let time stop unticking.
Untick. Untick. Untick. 

Tick.

6: 16. 6:61. 6:16. What is time anyway? 
Is there really only sixty minutes in an hour? Maybe its only fifty-five or seventy.

6:03? I gained thirteen minutes? So unticking time is really a thing. 
This could be the weed talking, it is 4/20. Oh, wait, 
I don’t smoke.

6:20pm. Five minutes left. 
Time ticked forward?

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Untick.
