Counterclockwise



Counterclockwise

Alarm clock ringing
Church bell chiming
Pendulum swaying
From the grandfather clock
The reverberating reminder
Time is racing
At a continuous pace
Unstoppable
Regardless of the variables
Untouchable
No matter how technology explores
Wondering
Could I win against it, even just once?
As usual, doubt prevails
Unrecognizable forward
An impossible backward
Dreaming how
To stumble through a loophole
Defying dimensional flow
To rectify the flaws—
Of past ignorance
Of wasted importance
Yet again
There’s still no answer
As time’s composition
Remains a science fiction
An impenetrable surprise
To counter the clockwise
