My Clock

10 2 0
                                        

My clock is tightly wound;

the springs creak,

the tick and toc are loudly

pronounced alternating sounds as

the second hand silently

passes round and round. 

No one understands it,

but as the minute and hour

hands clamor through

the second hand 

passes by and by;

just passing time

although no one knows

why and how this

clock of mine

is tightly wound.
