Grand Theft Grandfather Clock

Take the time (by force, if you must)

Steal the now (before they catch you)

Burgle it away (and get yourself outta town)

Then hide it deep-down-deep

and Secret

This moment is yours

Pick-pocket the pocket watch of the world

But only for a second

(make it yours, make it good)

Be selfish with the temporary, seriously

That is...

this instant

This breath

But only this

One inhale

One exhale

Kidnap this Tick

this Tock

but only

This

Right now

It's all you have

and all you'll ever get

Anything more does not belong to you, so

Please, for all our sakes:

give.

it.

back.
