Tick, Tick
Morphine drip
I count minutes
between the time it takes
for me to breathe
and the time it takes
for you to type
hello
Tick, Tick
Strychnine poisoning
The clock has aged me
But to you, I am always brand new
uncharted
distant but not cold
and I am in the room with you
on a tiny screen
you can feel my steam
from here
I am in your arms, under your covers
Tick Tick
Dopamine high
Daylight lies, its night
Spatial elements divide
physical entities
into alphanumeric strings
which mean absolutely nothing
Small hand on the nine
Your hand on my spine
Smiley face sign
You can touch me with your mind
key strokes sound like the truth
Messages lie, its life, its youth
and I’ve yet to put my lips
on your lips and my lips ache
just for yours
Tick Tick
Falling down drunk
This time, overdrive, laugh lines,
you stop my time every time
I’m addicted and I’ll admit it
only if you stop the clock too
37 hours and 2 minutes to you
That’s how long it would take
in my car, from here
2411 miles fly
152760960 inches from where I lie
And where you should be
You’re already into my future
Been searching through cyberspace
just for you
Heart beats in symmetry
Tick Tick…boom
Waiting for emoticons
My megapixel fantasy
Time couldn’t pause you
From finding the thread to me…
