Bare feet meet metal

Bare feet meet metal.

Cold. A shock.

The digits bloom,

a stark, bright clock.

Seventeen stone,

and a little bit more.

A judgment delivered,

right at my door.


It’s not just mass,

this stark decree.

It’s the weight of choices,

all on me.

The numbers don't lie,

they simply state.

A fact I can't argue,

a simple fate.


The brushed surface,

reflecting me back.

Just a number,

on a lonely track.
