Testo Splinters

Time is a new splinter buried deep in the opposable thumb
Finding new ways drive itself further
Making you feel grimly aware the more you touch
I keep thinking the body will reject it out
Find a new way to calcify t down
Alternative means to grinding teeth
Loosely kept terms only here to make you feel more or less alive
Redefining what it means to survive Time is a conceptual straight jacket confining you to moments you wished to forget
I want a future and past to forget
To live and die, a stand-in-line instant validation
A few brief moments, a few pure moments of gold
Everything you didn't notice made you what you are today
A foundation braced to break the backs
A product of everything you lacked
You stand up straight, poised and posed, straight in line, splinter exposed
Waiting on a validation, or further inclination that makes you feel better prepared
