Tick Tock

Between a tick
and a tock:
calamity ducks

or it may not.

In the crack from

tick to tock
life flows on


or maybe not.

A thing to fear,
a thing to knock
on wood for:
some luck
between
the tick and tock.

But not my son,
the cocky jock.
He fears little,
he fears not
the ticking
of the clock.
