This is what I imagine<\/p>\n
Being a zombie feels like<\/p>\n
Or a ghost reliving the same nightmare<\/p>\n
Night after night after night<\/p>\n
There is something supernatural<\/p>\n
Something sinister about hour 22<\/p>\n
You know the end is near<\/p>\n
But it is out of your grasp<\/p>\n
Your feet are being held down<\/p>\n
Your brain screams for release<\/p>\n
But no one can hear you<\/p>\n
You reach out but there is nothing<\/p>\n
to hold onto<\/p>\n
You can do nothing but wait<\/p>\n
Write and wait<\/p>\n
Wait and write<\/p>\n
The clock ticks<\/p>\n
Ever so slowly<\/p>\n
A time warp<\/p>\n
A poet’s loop<\/p>\n
A poem, on top of another poem, on top of another poem<\/p>\n
Wait and write, write and wait<\/p>\n
Try not to let the clock<\/p>\n
ticking and tocking<\/p>\n
control you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
