Expressions

A million seconds to build the thatch
A little spark; our dreams be ash
A thousand reasons to stand in line
One silly shunt; our aims be dashed
The sands of time have freckled my
gaze, or
Maybe my eyes have darkened the
light, the
Shadow of expressions be cast in our minds
The future trapped in an helix of night,
Words as pins
Pricking our being;

Big office pins,
The human skin
