Off the Clock

Time wastes it’s own time in 
a fury to get it over –

The clocks fall over in a useless 
attempt to stop –

The key to wind the clock disappears 
into the night –

The clocks strike one by one in 
their own ways –

Some for the last time make 
the effort to control –

One day all the clocks will stop 
and there will be no pressure –
