The clock ticks and ticks The seconds, minutes, hours pass The clock looks down from it's perch on the wall The heart questions its validity And sighs.
The body grows and prospers The thought of degenerating, down-grading persists The body takes itself in and wants to embrace the only moments it has The brain becomes distracted and lost in its own perception And sighs.
The Earth, the only planet where love is known to exist The clock has no jurisdiction over it The Earth, in all its cosmic glory and all-knowingness The body, such a sin to let it rot from the inside out, Sighs.
The clock, the body, the brain, the heart, the Earth The ticking, the rotting, the thinking, the sighing, the all-knowing The clock measures the body, and the body, the Earth The Earth, with no heart or brain of its own, spins unworried Yet sighs.
