You Hang The Pictures – Thursday 22nd August 2019

You Hang The Pictures

you hang the pictures
i will make the clock
time is made in places
where time never really stops

you bang in the nails
i will hold the wood
time is made in places
where time never could

you find the drill part
i will set up the bench
if time decays
then it never reveals a stench
time is sincere
so it is time well meant

you hang the pictures
i will make the clock
we can pause for lemonade
but time never stops
it is made in places
with hurried, watchful faces

you bang in the nails
i will hold the frame
time is on our hands
but it slips away, once again
