Tick Tock goes the Clock.
Tick Tock goes my heart.
Tick Tock goes my mind
And Tick Tock goes my life.
And I am the uncommon denominator in this, the stationary object in the forward rush of time. I may only ever stand still and look around and watch the world spin toward me. And the grave laughs it's maniacle laugh as it hurtles at me and soon I am to feeble to elude it and the earh swallows me up--i but a morsel teasing it's appetite. It won't be satisfied until everyone else has followed my lead. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock and it's all gone.
I am the field mouse. I am the Field Mouse and I don't want anything from anyone. Nothing is appeling. Everything is bland. Love, Lust, all but tantalizing fruits turned to sand in my mouth. So I run, and make my way through the tall grass in the pitch black, and wait to see the serpent that lurks behind the next bend.
