Clicking Sounds

How fast can you type?

The clicking sound

     an old dog walking across a hardwood floor

     a life in motion

     going from bowl to bed

     stopping only for a pet.

The clicking sound

     a writer tapping furiously away at the keys

     an idea in motion

     going from mind to web

     stopping only to think.

The clicking sound

     a harmony for the lonely ticking of time

     it's the clicks that you add to the ticks

     it's the pets and the ideas that you gave

     the clicks of life

     just a stroke in the the portrait of time.

click... click... click...
