can never take your eyes off / the black, the insect legs the / hands of the clock / O father O foreshadow / hours spent in a box / roaring down highways to the steady / squeak of the glass the rain / sweet because it's fallen / sweet because it came from the sky / sweet because we can / ignore it / the veins crawling up the glass / to your father's face / heads whipping back in a slow motion crash / thumping bass and the steady steady steady / swipe of the clock hands / like blinking / the world turning suddenly / the red of shut eyes / everything a freeze frame as / your parents join hands / across the roar.
