Timing and Associations

I’m the glow-in-the-dark watch
that you can read
only every now and then.

They say they’re unimpressionable,
But they’re already impressed.
So, why the effort?

A piece of pizza and a smile
would have done wonders.
But she hid there, eyes open.

Timing was never my thing,
and she’ll never open her eyes again.
She knew too much.
