time machine dilation

that one guy said,
hell is other people
but did he meet
a machine that
could mediate other
people at other peoples' 
behest, casting time 
into the void of expected
future moments that 
will only enact their 
revenge when the time
is up, but it's always down?
such a way underneath, as
our metaphors work overtime
to dig the holes that they 
earn their minimal wages
with, begging for tips with
their ears, but not asking
with their eyes, as more
land is moved to the side
to make room for that
