The Cheap Plastic Clock

Tick-Tock.. no more like Click-Tut The cheap plastic clock disapprovingly cuts through minutes and hours, mornings and days A relentless reminder of time running away. Only heard when no one else is around how much life has passed since I last noticed your sound Quiet enough to forget, loud enough to distract the notion of "forever" your persistence attacks. All the schools, jobs and places you've ever been all of the faces you've ever seen all go on without you whilst listening to this clock an intruding reminder of time you can't restock. Hearing time being lost I find very menacing and I know it is impossible for me to do everything but it serves to remember time eventually stops I think I will keep the cheap plastic clock.

Loved the title and the slight silliness of the verse....a bit more work on meter would make it REAL good! Light & Love..Welcome to the soup!
