Time is ticking
ticking
ticking
The two year timer
stared when the plane landed
every second
getting closer
to 0:00
ticking
ticking
ticking
New school
new people
make friends
on the first day
I hardly hear the ticking
ticking
ticking
ticking
Tests, projects
People, drama
Stress, breakdowns
Hobbies, trips
Wow, the
ticking
ticking
ticking
goes so fast.
Halfway done, the
Ticking
Ticking
Ticking
is getting louder.
Already it's summer?
It's been a year?
Ticking

House full of boxes

Jealous

of the ones
who get to stay

One week
goodbye

TICKING TICKING TICKING TICKING One day TICKING
crying. TICKING TICKING TICKING
Last day. TICKING
TICKING
TICKING
TICKING TICKING TICKING 0:00
Being on the plane
between places
40,000 feet above it all
It feels so weird
timerless
Until I land
and it starts again
on the ground.
