Laughing Clocks
November 12, 2022
The deceitful clocks are laughing at me.
Disturbing smiles creep on every blank face.
Dancing on my hands as I sip tea,
I run through time to avoid lifeless space.
I’m the past thinking about the future.
Time crumbles with all fugacious minutes.
Undreampt tears in timelines need a suture.
My eyes widen observing red digits.
Ticking voices fill my once empty head.
You’re now as old as you have ever been.
Time is an illusion I think in dread.
I walk the paths of age with wrinkled skin.
In the moment I take a heavy breath,
And blow out the candles running from death.

I like the theme about time!
This poem is about people who fear death on their birthdays. Instead of living in the moment, they are distracted by their fear of time.
