I want to run Just one more time, To see how it feels, Un-harnessed from my cane, Shops and houses passing at speed, The feel of the wind, Through my remaining hair. I want to run, Use my trainers,

A FUTILE DEVICE

Clocks do not serve but to adorn. Who needs them? Everybody has, at least, one:some in their left wrist, others in their right one or in their cell phones but coverall, we all have one in the deeply corner of our brains, where the conscience rests after killing.
