The soft, pale light of the clocktower face
a calm and heavenly apparition
changes my perspective
throws the rest into an alternate mode--
movements seem rash, abrupt and powerless
antlike
of or pertaining to the quality of lemmings.
Stop. Go. Walk. Don't Walk.
To the cleaner's, to the sandwich shop, to the hairdresser, past the library
under the clocktower which is
above the streetlights--our directors and captors
held from
dreams and wonder and things so that
everyone passes their emotion test
eyeballs chapped
and hearts stoned on
a 90-degree grid-pattern routine
deaf to
the call of the clocktower,
who every midnight imperceptibly
begs
us to consider Her pale, round face. The greater-than-this. The bigger-than-me.

Indeed, lovely as always.
p.s.--you know you loved that first phone call.
The clocktower reflects golden foil
and eases the sunset along shop windows.
Across the street is a park for three
with room for one blanket and one park bench seat.
The middle of town is timed and steady
prohibiting footsetps from forming too many.
