Glowing.
All-knowing.
Timeless and telling.
Hypnotic and quelling.
Dividing night from day.
With little to say.
Brightly painted.
Toxic and tainted.
Atomic and chronic.
Plaguing and bubonic.
Narcissistic and iridescent.
Nefarious and prepubescent.
Neither good nor bad.
A temporary fad.
Nuclear and radioactive.
Parsimonious and proactive.
Illustrious and steady as a rock.
Pointy-eared like Star Trek's Dr. Spock.
I give you the luminous and lustrous ...
... radium clock ...
