Time zones.
Are you here?
Are you listening?
Are we in the same place
at the same time?
Is it tomorrow in your mind
just out of reach
if we're connected
what time is it?

Limbo is
that flashing disconnected
reconnected
clock
blinking twelve.

We've reached limbo.

What if I'm 6 hours behind you
waiting for the seconds to fly
when my mind can reach capacity
and overflow into my mouth
could you hear me
hours apart
days apart
years...

What if I were on a train
that crashed
would the news reach you
my time
or yours?

What if seconds
could unite people
those on the same clock
set for the same time
is it for life?
Or necessity.

Do we watch the clock
and wait for the hours to pass
or
are we watching our life
through the minute hand
slowly passing
as every second
forgets to count
forgets to mean
anything
