Clock of Destiny
(after the watercolor by Wassily Kandinsky)
Time is no matter
in the timelessness
of
molecules
aimless
spatial
aimlessness
no
clocks
numbers
mean nothing
zero the some of its parts
hour-hand circles
endlessly
speed
of light
snails
stop!
it is 3:00 pm
somewhere
in a blink of the eye.

A stark, poetic quiz. This will stay with me.
Very good! Embryonic.
Clocks, they are such liars. Thanks for the poem, Neil!
