,,tick"
so went the second hand
midnight
a minute movement that had caused nothing that could be called minute
unmoving yet the world moved
digits of the world changed even when it felt like just any other second
paused watched the second hand raced for another 60 seconds
as the second and minute took a step into 1201 together
for the next sixty, the two depart into their own world
knowing that "i will be right back"
just in sixty
