Golden Watch

One woman checked her golden watch

to monitor the time wasted currently being committed,

I turned my head, unable to watch… the shoe be fitted.

Cutting reality with eyelids closed,

Loiters of life are not permitted,

nor are the Emperors clothes!

Its’ nauseous to watch Gold decompose,

as if it were never proposed to hold diamonds,

Our dream is ours for the mining.
