Friday

It’s 3:53, isn’t it a wonderful time?

3, 5, 3, the tears fall.
Red faced, stuffy nosed.

3:54, what’s wrong?
Passes so fast.

3:53.

It will be back tomorrow.





















Saturday

3:53.

I’m bleeding.
Blood on the straight-edge.

I’ll have to cover this up.

The pain swallows me whole, 3:54.




















Sunday

3:53.

Staring at the wall.
Someone calls my name.

Light up the darkness.

Dropped,

plummeting into the black, 3:54.
