Could We


from the ABC set Puffs of Poetry

servants to time

slaves to clocks

tasks for ticks

tears for tocks

curse to the young

loss to the old

digging for desolate

gods of their gold

eyes of the children

look far away

only they see

good of the day

tardy oh tardy

that corporate sin

should we smash the clocks

and live once again

could

we

I suppose it's a nostalgic look at what time once meant, but I think its a time that never existed.
