Tick Tock Cacophony

by Rachel Hoyt

The ticks click by quick

as the tocks slowly knock,

then slick as a trick,

they meet up at the dock -

one moment, one prick,

a single time block.

The trick is quite slick -

all ad hocs turned flock,

while still ticking ticks

and chock full of tocks -

the tune coos and clicks

as time turns the clocks.

This poem was inspired by brain timing research which

found there are many internal clocks from which our experience is stitched.

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
