Drip drop goes the clock
A water clock, that is
Drip drop / goes the clock / a water clock / that is
Or the faucet // tap // y’all call it / dripping away / a waste // it’s been like that lately / by fault of my own / with solid noise-canceling headphones / and a loose faucet lever
Why do I call it a faucet? /That’s not the Canadian term
Drip drop / goes the clock / a softer clock / than of the mechanical ticks / the mechanical toks
Each moment/morphing / and lost / down the drain
Hi I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) and this poem reminded me to double check my faucets (taps) that they’re firmly shut off.
