Scratching Hands

The hands of time drag across my face
for what feels like an eternity.
A systematic cycle of scratching,
grating against etched numbers and my patience.
If I long for this onslaught to speed up
I am effectively shortening my life
and thus life is so masochistic in its nature
that we want the scratch to drag out
or to be a victim of its absence.
