tiK-tOk-tiK-tOk
tiK-tOk-tiK-tOk. do you hear the clock?
bRR-BAWK-bRR-BAWK. do you hear the cock?
a cock. a chicken. it’s head all cut off.
you know, a farm bird locked in a caged box.
tiK-tOk-tiK-tOk. keep going. don’t stop.
time waits for no man when opportunity knocks.
we walk ’round the blocks our minds caught up in thought.
distraught of the memories meant to be lost.
tiK-tOk-tiK-tOk. pet the nice furry pussy.
a pussy. a feline cat. don’t mistook me.
that cats up at bat. in the sack aint no rookie.
a fact that she’ll smack them balls like it should be.
tiK-tOk-tiK-tOk. the sands of time fall.
branding new chapters on Infinity’s wall.
ticking in circles within eternity’s palm.
lost in Life’s jigsaw puzzles to solve.
