Keeping Watch
My face looks across the room.
Eyes return my look as
my hands point to the when.
When I decide, they second when I say.
When I rule the world, from the meridian
there are different eyes,
that work together but we differ in our whens.
Check the minutes, who is right, who is wrong.
We are all right, when indifferent zones.
No escapement from watching me as
the pendulum swings.
The human ants follow my timewhen but
Father Time follows the sunwhen.
When I stop, chaos rules the butterflies,
tick, tock, slow, stop, silence.
Nowhen.
