What is a clock, but just a device that tells time?
Cooks tell time by the browning of red meat
Florists tell time by the opening of petal arms
Dogs tell time by the sound of their master's footsteps
And Mothers tell time by the growth of her son's height
I tell time by realizations,
With each realization like a flag in the ground
Marking that I have overcome, experienced, and become
Oblivious all the while to the sound of tic-toc in the background.
So, now, sir, if it would please you,
Could you please
Tell me the time?
