Sitting by the window while the clock keeps ticking
Time has come unhinged. Sitting by the window, beautiful and empty, you watch the people go by.
A tile falls off in the kitchen
and you don't move.
Cobwebs have covered half the window, but luckily
not on your side.
There are cracks in the wall now too and it can get drafty
when the wind blows, like it did yesterday.
It is calm today, though the clock has stopped.
The window frame needs
a new coat of paint, though the view
is still different every day.
So you wait.
So you sit and watch the people go by.
As they did.
As they will.
