Nemesis

Blast it! All the ******* clocks,

I'll die if I hear ticking tocks.

All the fleeting, thoughtful lips,

Breathing down the slender dips.

I know the sounds of morning dew,

All my looming habits threw

My books across a crowded room

To show our cold, impending doom.

All these clocks, this passing time,

In broken English lacking rhyme.

Alone, alone, alone but tell

The fragile boy's abandoned shell

To hold the thought in neurotic mess,

And wait to dare what he confess.

 

There they go, breathe down the necks

Of lover's lost too far to vex.
