TIME PIECE

As the Sun dials down on a cold Post Meridian.
Time seems to slow down...
Like on coasts of the Caribbean.
If we're living on borrowed time...
Does that make it second hand?
Watch as I thicken plots...
Each tick & tock of second hands.
Time, they say, is relative.
We control the brake & the throttle.
Traded a Seiko for Movado...
For the sake of bravado.
The smoothness of Swiss movement.
Not talking NordicTrack.
Contorted faces as they clock...
Same way Dali distorted that.
