Clocks

by Megan Tobias

Sometimes in the chaos of these

Ticking clocks, I get so caught up in

The motion of the moment, I forget to

Focus on those ticks and tocks.

And before I know it, minutes passed

And I’m so far from reality, that

I don’t even know what’s going on.

And that line ahead of me is just a blur of

What it is supposed to be.

What is it supposed to be?
