Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

I Dont Know But Should I

I dithered , dathered circumspect

Picked up winded said mantle clock

Winded yes , but yet did not set the
time correct

For i was myself beside ,
disconnected still stuck up 
caught up 

Fretting festering over the  
ensuing arguments and pending
postmortem

Am i in shock 

Should i be in the dock

Should i be called as both
witness for the prosecution
and defense

And do i should i have a case to answer for

Crimes both present my conscious
cohesion thought bought and paid
for future proofed

Aloof and soley based on half truths
and recriminations

With social D.N.A thrown into the
mix for good measures

Always a pleasure never a chore
unti all we are left with and know

Is even if or when a clock is 
winded up

Unless it's time is set correct

It's use and job is deemed
redundant pointless

Reduced to merely ornamental
circumspect evidence

In the trial of the century
