Time

Ticking and tocking on the wall clock.

I ignore it.

A gong on the grandfather clock.

I still ignore it.

A loud beep on my wrist watch.

Still I ignore it.

The constant sounds changes my body

Just as I change the channel to General Hospital.

Still I ignore it.

Tick tock, gong, beep

The sounds come to me.

Still I continue to ignore it.

I become taller.

I become older.

Days pass by and I still ignore it.

Time flies into weeks and I still ignore it

Weeks endlessly turn into months and STILL I ignore it.

And continue to ignore it. I ignore time.

Others ignore it too. Time that is.

They sit just to ignore it.

Ignoring it. Ignoring time that is.

STATUES that just ignore it. Ignore time.

Just like I someone who ignores time.

Just ignoring the ticking and tocking of time.
