Tick. . . tock. . .

no moment can go unnoticed by time's watchful eye
no second can pass without my looking at the clock
no hand can move fast enough for me to be done with this tiresome work
but i'll push on and keep at it
until falling i find
my way into wonderland
inside my mind
tea parties and toadstools
insanity comes in a glass
drink it up drink it up!
this moment won't last
tick tock goes the clock
and gone is the day
yet i still find myself here
drinking away
from a chalice of thought
and a mug full of tea
piping hot
time is your enemy 
and lust an overly friendly aquaintance 
insanity is your world now
fall back you'll find it
somewhere amongst the stars 
that go out when you turn off the lights.
