4 minutes.
4 minutes till midnight.
A new day.

An old me.

I am getting older, yes,
But midnight will bring no paramount change.
It is dark at 11:59 and no darker at 12
Yet morning inevitably comes.

Between what moments does dark become day?
I briefly entertain the idea of staring down the sky;
Unlocking the secret.

The sky will win.
I cannot beat its azure gaze.
Night becomes day.

And I become night.
