Dinner at 2AM

The grandfather clock sounds to remind me that it is time
Time to have the silver spoon in my right hand
Stirring whatever mess I've made this time
With a book of dreams in my left.
I stand against a strong white counter
Stronger than you think
Resting
Waiting
Watching
the hands on the clock move faster now
Daring me to make a mess of its dangerous cycle.
But it will not have the best of me
And neither will you.
