"Timeless Watch" by Terriana Richardson

Legend has it that if a watch is placed in front of a mirror, 
it starts to run timeless, because it soon sees that it tells time!!!

Afraid to show its prophetic powers
With a cover or a chain
You leave it on a wrist
And tell yourself eight quartz alone
With your ticking sound
Make believe or not
Is worth one juiceless battery
But then you greet him;
Focused, steady, and squat
He’s drinking juice at a charity race
You ask “Where’s Billy Ray?”
Your second thought “What if this race runs over time?”
You hold up red watch bands at him
Your psycho friend, your O.C.D., your soul mate of marker’s point
He doesn’t realize the warning 
Although to you these gestures appear as grim
Reminders that you’re patient
Just not enough
The one attention 
You can’t find in the morning.
