Proper Time

Proper Time

i figure
we're all fucked up
like wristwatches
that never keep
proper time

like watches
with fucked up gears
and springs
some of us
running too fast
others
running too slow
others
completely broken
giving
the exact same time
every
single
time

regardless
of the cause 
of our mechanical
malfunctions
we're most always
minutes
if not hours
off
the proper
time

while the best
of us
are so fucked up
we run
both 
too fast 
and 
too slow
so 
in the end
it balances out
to the almost
correct time
most
of the time
