"Even Broken Clocks are Right Twice a Day but My Clock Doesn't Seem to Exist"
written by
Sara Watkins
It’s yesterday again,
and somehow today is tomorrow.
I try to count the hours but still it seems
every minute is the minute that came before.
Looking ahead feels like looking back. Time
doesn’t tick at all. It’s yesterday again.
