She Collected Clocks

Pendulums,
Hands,
Bells,
Chimes,
The merciless fishwife nags of time.

Every lost moment.
Every lost intent.
Every dollar and cent 
Of time spent.

Reminding, remembering, remorseless.

Distracted by the mechanism,
A second hand masochism,
While time,
While life,
Life
Ticks by.
