Timepiece

Synapses fire to the edges of my soul,
And lock, stock and barrel do cease to hold.
Pinpoint accurate the hour that the moment senses,
Ne’r better dealing the cards only to fold.

How the chambers in the clock click-and- clack,
And the hands cease to ship its shape and bend.
For under the fire only some pieces lose most of

While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors

While daydreaming about timepiece inventors...
as the figurative curtain closes on 2022

How arbitrary the assignment
of seconds, minutes, hours,
days, months, years...
to the passage of time,
and I would be hard pressed
to differentiate one moment
from the next without the aid 
of some handy dandy mechanism
linkedin to clocking existence.

An especially keen awareness
piques the one mind 
among plethora of Foo Fighters

The Tick, Ticking Timepiece

 
The burial is over and the mourners leave,
                and the departed one is left with the dead;
soon, squirrels come for flowers to retrieve,
               without a

Timepiece Reveals

Timepiece reveals desolation,
        forsaken lands of creation-
Barren branches sway in dismay, 
  uneasy in life’s disarray. 
No hope for alleviation. 

        Wasteland betrayed by salvation, 
one more soul dies from starvation.

While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors One O Clock

Who knows whence the measurement 
of time came about, though this chap

a Mercyful Fate asper their Iron Maiden pact, 

but needed to reassure doubting Tom us 
(a petty detail), how to coordinate

While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors Two Oh Clock

A quick and easy (makeshift, albeit very temporary) 
Cheap Trick would suffice in the interim 
(which might entail many generations) 
to rock a Super Tramp off The Farm. 
Lo and behold a panacea arrived 

in form of Jethro Tull. Beastie Boys 
(more or less marauding hooligan gangs 
comprised of Arctic Monkeys) 
possessed an uncanny verve

Timepiece

The clock never falters
Until its life dies
Replacing its batteries
And again time flies

The hands never stop
Ticking by so fast
Erasing all memories
Beating away our past

The numbers never change
They’re always the same
Rhythmically proceeding
Forgetting our shame

Time is a story
Told by a clock
Whispering inside us
Throughout life’s walk
