tic, tic, tic

by George Hoerner

the second hand talks
telling me now
is not the time
suggesting there may
never be a time
just slow withdrawal

time’s second hand
winks then smiles
teasing my mind’s eye
since time isn’t sure
when the tic stops

Time = the linear expression of something no other creatures, but us, need. Ugh. Nicely done here, George!
