Tik-um-tok
What If
There was a clock
Which told
The real time
A time piece
Governed not
By the artificial
Tick
Or the mechanical
Tock
But ruled
Only
By the rhythm
And emotions
of
The beating heart
A watch
That watched
And when things
Went slow
Their passage
would be monitored
And measured
In real terms
Sensitive to
Feelings
Not captive and cold
Inflexible
Minutes and seconds
So a minute could last
An hour
And an hour could last
A whole day
And a day
Could be over
In a just second
Now think carefully
About if you owned
Such a precious
Thing
And wonder
Honestly
How really
You would spend
Your
Time
