Notes About The Poem

Where Is Home

     I’m sure 
     it isn’t here
     alone
     except for the 
     tick
     tick
     ticking
     of the clock
     counting 
     each second 
     in its rush 
     to reach 
     the next hour~
     dawn
     and still 
     that 
     omniscient 
     clock
     tick
     tick
     ticking
     it’s way 
     to noon
     to dinner
     to sunset
     to midnight~
     alone again
     always alone~
     except for the 
     tick
     tick
     ticking
     of the clock.
