not anymore
it was falling at night
and I didn’t hear it

                it wasn’t a dream
                the dog wasn’t barking
                I also didn’t hear him tonight

the clock was hanging
on the wall
doing its work

                it’s now laying
                on the desk
                still not ticking

just moving
like I’m doing soon
into my bed

                can’t wait
                to sleep without yelling
                at the clock

and so
the day is ending
timeless.
