Killing Time
.
A single clock an enemy,
a hordes’ tick-tocks an evil
empire. Creeping forward in
.
night’s foul collaboration, each
blade a slow click towards oblivion.
The wise, old owl watching
.
sadly, this unstoppable onslaught,
hooting no warning, knowing
it a useless endeavor. Every clock
.
shakes with our doom. Hunt them
down, root them out. No mercy. To
make time disappear, kill the clocks.
