About

I eat, I sleep, I laugh, I grow. I wait, I dream, I hope. I smile with teeth. I commute, I walk with determination-- sometimes with defeat. I'm shy, boisterous, cunning, deliberate. I write, I enjoy, I sing, I clap. I shake, I cry, I confuse my own self. I love, I share, I absorb it all.

i want

Time to freeze and time to hold.

The clock hangs high and chimes too loud.

To want and want is a slow disease.

It eats

and grows

and clouds my soul.

Inside,

I fear

myself and the truth.

I fear I’ll lose what makes you stay.

I want—

all I do is want and want.

To show you,

to tell you:

my clock is locked with yours.
