-inspired by the movie, Idlewild <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks biding my time: <br />Walls echo and tick, resounding sublime. <br />Repetition arrays how time pieces spin <br />celestial-geared logic, chime chime chime. <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks on my wall: <br />Cuckoo, grandfather, centennial, <br />digital and all. Slip-stream and crawl <br />across nerve endings, a fitful dream's call. <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks synchronized: <br />Gestations pulse and bear false witness <br />to impossible senses, I lie hypnotized <br />in sleep, unreplenished dream's duress. <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks biding my time: <br />Hallowed halls mimic metronome's <br />rhythmic toll, our measure often binds <br />heartache's tone-drone drone drone. <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks on my wall: <br />Don't know why or how, always <br />at standstill in space and time, eternal <br />hands pacing toward hope, love and faith. <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks biding my time: <br />Walls echo and tick, resounding sublime. <br />Repetition arrays how time pieces spin <br />celestial-born logic, chime chime chime. <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks biding my time: <br />Tick tick tick tick tick tick a-ticking <br />Bells bells bells bells bells bells a-welling <br />Chime chime chime chime chime chime a-chiming... <br /> <br />Gotta hundred clocks biding my time.<br /><br />Phillip Michael Sawatzky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gotta-hundred-clocks/
