Time ticks laboriously by;
Endless silences deafen even
the quietest of mice;
Tick..tock..tic..tic
tock;
Worthless words fragment,
dissipate;
Rejected idealism jostles
for recognition amongst
the jumble of logic..and all
the while the silence
grows louder;
Tick..tock.tick tock..
tick........
Mayhem, broken silence
erupts scattering anesthetized
brain cells into action, scurrying,
searching for combinations that
work..and all the while that
insistent tick- tocking hypnotises
the flow...stop...start..
stop..stop..stop..........
