TIME OF YOUR LIFE

Watch the clock -
tic... toc... tic...
Exact quartz precision.
The seconds finger
in perfect rythm -
jump... stop...jump...
Hearts watching,
minds knowing.
One jump;
One stop;
Gone?

Dare I try a silent glide,
less discernable.
And avert my senses
from the perpetual motions
of life?

Or stay and listen;
For the inevitable -
Jump... Stop...
Jump...
Stop...
Stop...
Stop.
