1 CLOCKS
Clocks-
Who gave them the right
To count away the seconds
To speed us towards deadlines
And drain our euphoria?
Who gave them the right to be rapid?
**
Who gave them the right
To draw out seconds so they last for hours
To fly when you want them to creep
but crawl when you want them to hurry?
Who gave them to right to lag?
**
Who gave them the right
To click-clock, tick-tock
Drive you mad with rhythm
But continue marching forwards?
Who gave them the right to be steady?
**
Who gave them the right
To always BE right?
Everyone’s wrong at one point or another…
But, no, not these- and if they are, it’s no fault of their own.
Who gave them the right to be perfect?
