Clocks on the Wall

I told them to stop smiling at me.
I told them to stop being so fucking organized.

But no.

They have to keep going.

A little hope in between ticks.
A little hope that it wasn't it's face, but the idea.

Where am I?

12:59 - I'm at work.
1:00 - I'm at work.
1:01 - There's no point in arguing.
1:02 - Stapler to the wrist?
1:03 - Paperclip to the eyelid?

Ending words and thoughts with periods.
Ending lines with semicolons.

Logical function flashing by.

IF ( $You_Dont_Care ) {
$Dont_Pretend;
}

One night stands bother me now.
I can't look them in the eye without thoughts of cheap imitation.
Chinese knock-offs.
American knock-up.

My opinion of them doesn't matter.
It's only for a night.

7200 seconds.

They could hate me but it doesn't matter.

I'll be gone by tomorrow.

I could not care about dressing for the next day, and coming in prepared, but I do.

Ever since the phone calls.
The staying up late.

It's better than any fake love I've endured.

Bright white light.

"Ello, mate!"

Mental Orgasm.
I have to melt, it's only natural.

Coming back from the end of the tunnel, I'm left with fate and a surfer man with brown spiky hair.

If I say it enough, I'll be right.
I don't want to be, but I will be.

Because the mind forgets.

I don't remember what I ate this morning.
I don't remember what I did last night.

I don't remember the minutes, the hours.

I remember when there's an idea with fishing line.
She's the fish.

1:04 - Hope
1:05 - Hope until I'm sick
1:06 - Dream for tomorrow
1:07 - Dream for tonight
1:08 - Run away for real this time.

Please?
