The Tick Tock People

its sound is silent

perpetual and inevitable

universally local

its effect is deafening

profound, unstoppable

immediately fleeting

descending the abyss

a ghost on a mission

its feeling is palpable

indescribable

soul grating

reality warping

anxiety inducing

madness incarnate

its touch is numbing

slowly less painful

soothing, shaping

distorting

eroding sensation eventually

patiently unfolding the mind 

sinking it deeper

and deeper to sleep 

in the silence

we won't mind
