The Minute Hand and The Hourglass

Karsten Turrey


I'm doing the last guy
the girls pick up shuffle

 

Laugh
Cry
Act amused
Blow bubbles

 

Drink wine
Self abuse
Run circles

 

A pattern of imperfection head tilting sideways romance never lives past the minute hand clock apart look at its parts try to find a way maybe an hourglass can substitute head horizontal clock in the process on the nightstand morning light shining clock scattered across the floor vertical head pick up the pieces try again

 

What a waste

 

Clock back together hour hand stuck on the half minute hand functions try another romantic night and day the hourglass should work head first then feet
feet second then minute hand minute hand then hourglass hourglass then nightlight
nightlight horizontal head vertical
"did it work?"
women's half body vertical other horizontal dressing for a morning light we made it past the minute hand
"was it the hourglass?"
I put the minute hand and the hourglass in my pocket these are two traits she and I can't live without

 

It's not perfect but it works
