The hourglass is breaking
\nAnd I still don’t have a line
\nThat fits this prompt’s parameters
\nRepeating 3, 4 times
\nYou should see the balls of paper
\nCluttering my floor
\nFull of lines that repeat 2 times
\nBut couldn’t, anymore
\nWell, shit, there’s just 3 minutes
\n3 tiny grains of sand
\nI guess I’ll have to go with this
\nOr show an empty hand
\nAnd I kind of like this metaphor
\nThis self-portrait definition
\nThat, even with just seconds left,
\nI’ll somehow complete my mission.
