The Journey of the Minute Hand
By Me
4/13/2009
Twenty-two minutes later the clock struck eight.
Once the Minute hand was right of the Hour,
A gear went loose and caused the hand to fall.
The miniscule Minute was under command
Of the silent, secret, slithering Second
And controlled the ever honorable height
Of the Hour. This predicament quickly
Darkened the future of idle increments.
What became of the might-less Minute hand?
Instantaneously, the holy hand reverted back
To its indigenous form, an alloy of metals,
Heat, sweat, life and love. Gravity took its
Independent effect on the falling hand,
The Fall without the Hour and Second hand.
