the crime against humanity

notes towards the clock series

 

time breaks things down

 

swords to ploughshares

back again

 

a clock tears through time

time is the wrecker’s ball

and it heals a sun

 

the egg timer falls off the fridge

the washing machine knows its way

 

‘a clock is what’s good for you’

they’ll say

 

then frequent signs of the impending

 

the second hand like cloud spun

the minute’s converse all around

the hour an accusation

 

they have removed the clocks from the shops  

it’s so you’ll tell out time

 

it’s this moon

against the wide world

 

where you’re gone once was

you have a face

 

we have to put up with time

 

you have to forget to care
