Innocently, the clock sits still like a student
The second’s hand ticks past the minute
The minute past the hour.

Guiltily, the years put a great dent
On dreams we fail to meet
And hopes that are dour

But this time, you are a fly, so prudent
Rolling and rolling the helpless digit
Of moments both sweet and sour.

– Effiong Samuel
