Little tick marks are left in your absence.
These reiterate the sounds of disruption.
Control. Dominance. This is what they relay.
Irritate, these ticks enforce,
Within me, I steady my course.
Obsessive and Compulsive I am.
Jest, these ticks echo.
Self-control allows me to contemplate rationally.
For what can you do besides 'jest'?
Authority, I am.
Constructive in keeping myself together... you're lucky that this is also me.
