PASSING TIME 11Dec2018 BJG
Ding me a dong you young striking clock
Tic me a toc that is wrong
I really don’t care to know of the time
I love only your works and that dong
Give me your chime and forget about time
I’m sick of the all knowing world
What I want to see is that barrel & spring
Gradually becoming untwirled
Yes I want to see teeth, pinions and leaves
Your pivots escapement and rack
When I turn you round what I want to see
Is the pinwheel and hammers at back
Your pallets & springs that bring forth the dings
The strange little groans that you make
The sound of your charm when you sound your alarm
The tic-toc when your frame I shake
The cut of your dial that just makes me smile
The filigree hands called your finger
The smell of your wood, handles & hood
Attractions that in my mind, - linger
The last thing I want is a bleeper timekeeper
Stuck in my gaze and my thoughts
A plastic gear train inductor spring main
Electronic and timed by a quartz
Ding me a dong you young striking clock
