<center><h1>Five twelve</h1>**.** . by @d-pend . **.**</center> ___   ___   ___ The clock reads *555.* Whether morning or evening no longer matters. Whether winding down already, when it seemed but a minute since waking, or re-kindling the flames from midnight coals — the common denominator is fuel, consumption, performance, gear, and the tending to the continued working condition of the engine powering the vehicle — whose headlights, clear or bleary eyes, read the clock's numerals: an Arabian inheritance of figures marching across vision's field, mechanics embued by light, unfolding in two-dimensioned simulation of specific relevance. The clock reads *SSS.* A post-it note on the astral refrigerator reads *888*, now <sup>*—*</sup>*4 _* , then *5╊S,* *3∞┑,* etc. in endless variations, displayed in rightangled font, morphing; indistinct precision of data transformed upon every blink, so focused on externals, not noticing the breath always breathed, the blood always pumped through organic pipeworks, the fire of the homunculi-kiln. Aberrations trigger awareness. Halts in smooth-flow upspike, make potholes in mindcrete, justifications for systematic self-sabotage — to pay penance for privileges taken for granted — even figuratively spit upon, spurned and stamped down under a worn sole, ground into the misleadingly static gravel of worlds being blown about by change while no one's watching, aeons playing hide-and-seek with humanity, giggling at the frustration of motor-impaired giants clumsy with habit and belief's limit. ___   ___  ___  ___ <center>words and images _ `by @d-pend for HIVE` _ on Aug. 28, 2020</center> ___  ___
