It's About Time

1.
sixty minutes drip
the hour pooling at my feet
slipping on wet socks

2.

the town hall clock stopped
eleven twenty-seven
late lunch in sheep street

3.
pendulum motion
oscillating metronome
perpetual swing

I've been reading these over and over. What fabulous perspective. And to find six words such as you did in #3, all conveying so much motion. Amazing.
