In the Ticking of My Clock

-----in the ticking of my clock

i find


numbers running in seconds,
 in circles

moving forward


----yet 

somehow,

also moving backward?

too similar,

too familiar

as the

thoughts

running 

 in

 my 

  head.

Congratulations Nikko, on a poem well done. How are you? I'm like you way behind on my comments. I think I need to hire someone to make me comments. LOL, my sisters is to busy. And Royal~ is being to lazy.. Thanks for the mail. Told you i'm behind. I'm just getting it now. And I forgot about my contest. I will close it tonight, or by morning. Take care.. Luv*Skat
