Silence of time

6 4 1
                                    

Hear the nonexistent pin drop

Soundless on the floor

In this blissful peaceful place,

Sneak glances at the hands

Of weary ticks and too slow tocks,

This is where the silence lies

Creeping slowly on wings of time,

Occasionally sleep bows its head down

Onto crossed arms, into unconsciousness.



Oh how infuriating boring silence is:

A hushed dialogue, finger to the lip

The increasing tap of fingernails to the table

Hoping time would somehow fly



And yet here I am

Pen flying across paper in an attempt

To relieve boredom and kill time,



I really wish time would speed up
