CLOCK POEM  (January 2001)
If I could take a word and hold it gently in my
hand, and if I closed my eyes and felt its softness
and warmth as I touched it, caressed it and
kissed it with my lips, and if I shaped it,
moulded it and smoothed it so that it became
special and precious to me, though I knew not
what it said, but was somehow still aware
that the whole meaning of my life was contained
therein, when I opened my eyes to look
it would say; CLOCKS.
