Frozen

Time frozen,
Clock hands still moving,
People blank,
Empty.
Get up,
Rush,
Don't be late,
Don't be late,
DON'T EVER BE LATE.
Lie in bed.
Sleep.
Wake.
Don't sleep.
Don't wake.
Close windows.
Lock doors.
Keep them out.
Picking like vultures at sinewy fragments of your mind.
Keep them out.
Please.
Keep them out.
