Time stops. The sweep hand seconds that no-motion
It fluttered in warning for several days
You were warned, and now you are out of time
That thing on your wrist is now but a weight
Oh, what is the nature of time? one asks
Oh, where is there a fresh 370?
The watch-opener reposes patiently
The tiny screwdrivers wait silently
Because without a 370 battery
(Which you can’t find in this town)
A watch is only useless tattery
It fluttered in warning for several days
You were warned, and now you are out of time
That thing on your wrist is now but a weight
Oh, what is the nature of time? one asks
Oh, where is there a fresh 370?
The watch-opener reposes patiently
The tiny screwdrivers wait silently
Because without a 370 battery
(Which you can’t find in this town)
A watch is only useless tattery
