Poem
Big white clock is bored With the uniformity of time Flowing unnoticeably every day Always the same tedious way The clock has been sitting there From the dawn of the time Meticulously marking steps of Hours minutes, and seconds Till it could no longer bear The meaningless existence Of being a humdrum machine One day the clock decided to try Something a little bit different A tiny experiment of stretching Its' frame to right which resulted In arrow of seconds slowing down Then bending sharp to the left The arrow of minutes jumped up Clock excitedly slid down fast Speeding up hourly flow of time Then lazily went back to primal Initial smooth fixed steady pace Bringing time flow back to Normal rhythm of the day But now the clock felt inspired So it tried to wrinkle the frame Excitedly flipping upside down Which resulted in unexpected flow Of time acquiring velocity of its own Detaching itself from the constant Existence of space and swiftly Rolling down the edge of a cliff Clock fell into the dark precipice Opening the heavy infinity doors Where the clock hasn’t been before In the pitch darkness it felt lost Trying to catch the evading time With the arrows arms like spread Flapping through empty space But time was evading the clock Excited and free it mischievously Played spellbound hide and seek With the desperate clumsy clock Which felt confused and scared The world felt hopelessly lost For the lonely terrified clock The clock could no longer grasp The wholesome consistency of time Which was racing in its own speed In infinite universe so the clock Had to find out the way to catch The time and make it uniform again Feeling guilty of such a foolish attempt To test things that should not have Been controlled and questioned Deeply repenting crooked clock Tried to get back to its original form Restoring smooth round shape Straightening three bent black arrows Tuning seconds minutes and hours Recovering the consistency of time That always flies by in the same Monotonous predictable way The clock swore never to Experiment ever again Being just a humble guardian Of time instead of Trying to manipulate it
