Waiting (ticking)

Patience
Time ticks as springs and gears turn
Numbers move to become one
Lonely waiting
Day dreaming and frustrated
Ticking goes on
Unfit smiles and crossed arms
Cat naps and dreamy thoughts
Alarms set, schedules made
Time still ticking
Keys in locks, curfews broken
Screaming lullabies
Ears are tokens
Digital and analog
Damn these clocks
Tap Tap Tap, is this watch working?
Set times spoken
Which are then broken
Birds do sing
Sun does rise
Mornings here
How I despise
The turning of those small and large hands
with their red skinny second telling friend
Time machines, just fake, nonexistent
For time is just one thing we can not rate
Take
Or recreate
It goes on without us
It goes by, never breaking the rules
Always speaking the truth
Clocks and watches can be off, but time is always the same
Even if our eyes look at a fast or slow clock
Time in the corner, just ticking away
And still with great patience, she still sits and waits.
