It always starts
With a kick in the teeth
And usually follows through
With a slump in your own
Filth

The pendulum swings
Forever and a day
First this way
And then the other
Way

Time keeps on kicking
With incessant clicks
Smashing your ear in
With such ruthless
Indifference

Left and right
Clockwise eternally

They say time is cyclic
Others say it’s linear
But I’ll go as far
As to say that it’s both
Repetitive and dull
