Literature Text

The clockwork heart
that whirs and thrums
shall never miss a beat
and with each tick
its grasping gears
propel the dead machine.
With springs and coils,
glistening oils
it runs as smooth as glass.
A hum of perfect harmony
in copper and in brass.
Perfect in function and design but only capable of lifeless autonomy.

This is why my brain irritates me. I have so many things I would like to write and can never seem to focus on, but at 6:00 in the morning right before I'm about to shut off my computer and go to bed its like,"Oh Josh...by the way...THIS."

Good job, here! :D I like the rhyming scheme you used here. You have enforced my liking with clocks and hearts together!
