My skin is twitchy.
I need to make.
Motivation is easy.
Feel the omnipresent silhouette.
Impossibly patient,
It circles over my head.

Time dives when it's hungry.
i must outrun it.
Outmaneuvering death is a trick.
Hiding works,
But there is no food underground.
Sunlight cannot penetrate a comfortable safety.

So every day I surface.
Game. Ready. Hungry.

I will take my sunlight.
I will evolve.
I will fight with tools
I will not die in a hole.
I will not let my guard down.

Life is not for playmates.
Time is made to kill.
