collecting by a teetering "6"
and i watch enough cnn
to wonder if the clock's fate is an apocalyptic warning
as another tornado claims lives
the hands keep spinning on their axes
though more numbers have fallen than not
a pile built by gravity
i think of my parents saying "turn left at the sullivans"
though there is no house there
hasn't been in forty years
i look at the clock again
and i know what time it is
