Tick Tock

Metronomic monotony of the seemingly silent clock.

Tick tock.

Distracted motion

you can’t see with all the commotion.

But

the date that seems so far approaches

time encroaches.

Your future shrivels up

shrinky dinking away.

Value every day

and don’t stop for a moment.

Because although you might not be able to hear it

the clock always goes

tick

tock.
