On removing the watch, the restriction lifts.
Encounter what is known as the light embrace orsensation cornering dialectical intercourse,
omission of orated instance.
The watch is placed on the desk,
bearing resembling features thatcounteract any signifier or personal taboo status.
However difficult now the bare wrist is—
it’s clean, impaled seemingly by nothing.
The visual lines ticking, black sticks:
Insects closing in singular actions,
the rotated seeking
but never justified in any particular alignment.
