Time Goes On.
The clock in her mind clicks.
Blood pumps and travels.
Muscles stretch and lie in wait.
Bones makes normal sounds of groans.
Lights spring open on her face.
Inside a drumb beats, beats, beats.
streams of water races inside.
Air flows out of two tubes.
Unable to move or make a sound.
She craves to be served but waits.
