i stand alone and watch the clock i only wait for it to stop and in the room locked up inside me the cutout magazines remind me i sit and wait alone in my room and in my room against the wall there is a picture very small a photograph i took some years ago it shows a picture of the room i know i sit and wait alone in my room the walls are white and in the night the room is lit by electric light i stand alone and watch the clock i only wait for it to stop the doors are shut and all the windows lock the only sound is from the clock i sit and wait alone in my room the walls are white and in the night the room is lit by electric light
