Follow the Wandering Clock

 

The world

is both

topsy and turvy;

spinning in every direction

at once.

We cannot tell

if we are

clock- or counterclock-

wise,

but it sure feels

like all the clock

has been spun

dry

and all the wise

has been abandoned

and all we are left with

is loose change

on the counter.

Yes,

change is loose

and

there may not be

enough cope

left in our mechanisms.

The shock

has bid farewell to

the awe.

The doctors

may have the final spin

in the worldwide

wheel of forsakenness.

Inevitable

the sad repeating refrain

of our dull haiku.
