00:00 - This could take a while
00:30 - A very long while
01:00 - Time doesn't tick
01:30 - It glides
02:00 - Tiny red sliding dial
02:30 - Slower than its shadow
03:00 - Catches up at twenty-eight seconds past
03:30 - Or is it two seconds to?
04:00 - Both
04:30 - The real minute doesn't match
05:00 - How odd.
05:30 - You look concerned
06:00 - No, I'm not crazy, I'm bored
06:30 - Stop worrying about me
07:00 - Why would you want to be there, anyway?
07:30 - What did you want to be, really?
08:00 - Tapping
08:30 - No beat
09:00 - Maybe you wanted to drum
09:30 - Bet that was your dream
10:00 - My condolences.
10:30 - We don't match
11:00 - That's new
11:30 - Better, but worse
12:00 - Blue is not his colour
12:30 - She could try wearing more than her underwear
13:00 - He needs some sun-tan lotion
13:30 - She needs a hairbrush
14:00 - Someone should tell them
14:30 - No one will.
15:00 - Half way.
15:30 - I wonder what you're thinking
16:00 - Might be deep
16:30 - Probably not, though
17:00 - You're two feet away, at most
17:30 - And yet I can only hear your pen
18:00 - I doubt it's written anything interesting
18:30 - Textbook answers
19:00 - Like everybody else
19:30 - But textbooks get you places
20:00 - At least that's the line.
20:30 - "Ten minutes left"
21:00 - Nine, actually
21:30 - I'm counting
22:00 - That desperate
22:30 - Better than thinking
23:00 - Better than bricks
23:30 - I'm not that bad
24:00 - Do have a life
24:30 - Even if only a few people here know it
25:00 - They're the ones that count.
25:30 - Home stretch
26:00 - Might just make it
26:30 - There's an end
27:00 - They've seen it
27:30 - Choose your row
28:00 - Get ready
28:30 - Nearly there
29:00 - Still writing?
29:30 - Hurry up
30:00 - Borrowed time
30:30 - Beep.
