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.
