🕛Every time I lay still, I lay within time.

🕛 The seconds just devour that clock as I sink into my sheets and think about life and the things that make me tense.

🕛 Time makes my eyes tired and alert all at once - this is not enjoyable.

🕛 I know time is going to seek revenge on me for not staying on her sleep schedule.

🕛 "But you're keeping me up." I say. "What am I supposed to do?"

🕛 "Call me selfish, but I want your eyes on me." She says. "Lay awake and watch the clock while I continue to pass by."

🕛Every time I lay still I...

lay on time.

Stretch time.

Let time stretch me.

Lay within time.
