The Clockwise Witness

It don't look right

In broad day light

It don't feel right

to me

If you win the rat race

If you come in first place

Then a rat is all you will be

How long will this take?

How long must I wait?

My heart is sinking

What were we thinking?

I can't fake this anymore

In this moment

of atonement

can you ever forgive me?

Is there something hovering?

It seems to be governing

everything once dear to me

Oh and how long
