Stillness Ticking, ticking, and ticking – the noise echoing though my head,bouncing from ear to ear with no interruption – constant, consistent – tip tap tip tap – it sounds like some type of secret code I can’t decipher, some ancient tip tap-pity military code – except my head is not under water, I should not be interfering with this, I don’t want to hear this – I should not be listening – no, not even if I want too. But it just wont stop – its in violation of my sanity, invading my space, corrupting my peace – what if it never stops – how will I sleep? How will I think? DAMN I need silence!! It’s making me dizzy – spinning in a spiral down, down, down in to unconsciousness – darkness, with no stillness for my mind.
