12:00

When will I wake up

from the midnight

of my own design?

When will I see the

clock change from

PM to AM. for some

reason, I've always

wanted to see that.

I used to set alarms,

so I would wake up

and see it. But it was

always a minute too

late. And now, I will

never see it, because

my clock no longer

holds those two letters

in the corner of it's face.

It now just says 12:00;

there is no AM or PM.

It could be noon right

now, but the outside is

dark and yet shining

with stars. Isn't the sun

a star? So maybe it is

noon, and we have a

million suns. A million

pinpoints of light that

still can't make my life

any brighter than it is.

Now, is it noon, or is it

midnight? I guess I'll

never know, so let's just

chill out and pretend that

it's lunchtime, and we can

eat sanwiches in the yard.

Pretend it's noon, when

man walks on two legs.

It's not mignight, when

the sun sets and the man

walks on three legs and

falls into the abyss of

death that will swallow

us all, inevitable as the

rising sun, and inevitable

as midnight tonight.
