hourglass

It floats in the air. I assume it is for me, because no one i know talks about it. It consumes me. I look away. I will have to hide it from myself and keep it a secret. The grains accumulate. Each drop brings him closer and pushes us apart. I could just lay it on it's side. Does that change something? I am too scared to try, i don't want to ruin anything else. I think i'll just keep watching. Plus when it is gone i can just flip it over? Why isn't the sand pink? And how does that just float there? That is amazing.
