Watch It Unfold By Joe Hakim

Decades wriggle by like a silverfish, hide from the light when the switch is flicked. Grant the general's dying wish, there's plans to be drawn, sides to be picked. Spin the words like a whirling dervish, habits to be formed and habits to be kicked. Kill the birds and poison the fish, a deal is clinched and the boxes are ticked. Fill the bag until it splits, beware of strangers bearing gifts. Hammer the message until it fits, navigate the fog before it lifts. Seize the silence as it sits, in expanding wormholes and temporal rifts. Long lost treasure in the bottomless pit, alternate the current as the axis shifts. Kiss the present's swollen lips, win the prize and make the lists. Surrender the balance as it tips, court is adjourned, the judge insists. Gag the agent before he flips, the time is served, the truth resists. Drink up the past in little sips, and eat the future as it twists.
