Time Keeper


the clock on the mantel shows seven pm

the clock in the bedroom shows nine,

the clock on my wrist stopped two days ago

but the clock on my phone shows ten...

no one really knows what time it is

no one really seems to care...

there is no master of the clock on which to

depend to tell us what time it really is,

those of us who still work will discover

there is no clock at the factory...

no one knows what time to arrive

no one knows what time to leave,

even those who bring their lunch each day

have no recollection of when to eat

unless the bosses are there to guide them;

we live in a world of clocks that give us

the correct time and let us know what

to do and when to do it - we are lost now...

without our clock and without the keeper

of the time to tell us when it is time to die.
