TICK-TOCK CLOCK

TICK-TOCK CLOCK

By James GreenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Tick-tock goes the clock, wall hang, tick-tock. Twelve numbers ticking around, twenty-four, lost and found, tick-tocking around. Sixty hides between those lines, making one just like a spine. The numbers aren't just for show, the more you count them the more they grow. Round is the face, two are the arms, numbers body, legs are the sound, for what is the use of movement when tick-tocking around. Sit down and wait, for what chimes next is great, sounds that boom on the dot, the line, straight shape. Ding! "Oh my, what a sound this is!" Dong! "The joy of sounds, oh ultimate bliss!"
