‘Low Clocks'


Time-travelling laughter that jeers and mocks
Equals wasted lives of years spent docked
From waiting in vain to get off the blocks
To rotting in silence at the bus stop
And dry delirium that concedes headlock
To sickly sadness; heart broken; soul squashed
Doctors rely on hope on the rocks
Pharmaceutical companies think it's 'hot'.
