there is a watch that beeps inside of my room
it has been in here since as long as i can remember
it beeps every few hours
whenever i least expect
like a few minutes ago
when i sat down and tried to write a poem
about love or depression or whatever i was feeling at the time
but now my mind is focused on the watch
it beeps with confidence
as if it expects a response
i have tried to find this watch
but it does not want to be found
i don’t want to find it
though it can be bothersome
sometimes
i often welcome its electronic greeting
like an old friend
after all
we have known each other for years
longer than most humans stay in touch
i wonder how it keeps its charge
after running for so long
eventually everything dies
even batteries
