Memoir

I stay in this room

year after year

the boring motions of my life

rotate every minute

I repeat everything each day

while you divide my motions

into twenty four hours at a time

my dull red numbers

control the year

two minutes pass

eight hours pass

eternally my flashing numbers stay the same

time moves in a circle

my past is my present

so here I remain

my surroundings change and I stay the same

a storm rages through the wires

my screen goes blank

finally something different
