Rest

And after all these spinning clocks have come to rest and done their best to throw us we’re still hanging on with both our hands

And while the gears with gnashing teeth they chew and creak revolve and speak no names just wordless ways ignoring our demands

Not until you not until you rest
Not until you not until you rest

And this might tear us twice in two or wear us down or wear us through inertia unrelenting distant over time

And if today is not a date that stumbles blindly while we wait six billion clerks consenting we are doing fine

Not until you not until you rest
Not until you not until you rest

And after all these spinning clocks have come to rest and done their best to throw us we’re still hanging on with both our hands
