I sit on a wall all day, 
it is all I do.

Although, 
some consider me important -
worrying over what I control, 

reaching for more of it, 

giving up loved ones, 

opportunities, 

days out

just to have more of me. 
My hands are slim, 

cool, 

like cogs are moving them

as I rotate always - 

A circle. 

Always a circle. 

Once I'd like to be infinite, 

to step away from these hands, 
and all these simple number. 

Sun up, 

sun down. 

Moon up, 

moon down. 
I want to feel the moments, 

not work for them.
