Encore, just before
Its a funny face on a clock. Winking with crooked eyes. Little and big and so much more important than I. A thing measuring me one tick at a time. Look again at your wall.

In the End, the Sea Will Win
The Sea. Wild, dark, deep. Indifferent to where we wrap arms in sleep. But it beats daily against our staunch sand wanting nothing less than to eat as much as it can.
