I Am An Alarm Clock
A Poem About What I Am
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if I was set to a time.
I am an alarm clock.
I bang my hammer on my bells when the word is too much.
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if I was set to a time.
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if you could see my face.
I am an alarm clock.
I have frosted over glass and my numbers are hard to see.
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if you could see my face.
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if my hands moved clockwise.
I am an alarm clock.
I move steadily backwards but still tik onwards
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if my hands moved clockwise.
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if I was alone.
I am an alarm clock.
I am happy and free and here and there and I am not empty.
I am an alarm clock.
Or maybe I would be if I was alone.
But I am not set to a time and you can’t see my face and my hands don’t move clockwise and I am not alone.
I am not an alarm clock.
You are not an alarm clock.
