caught at dawn
arms stretch out
to shut off an alarm
awake to the charm
of a new day

arisen
in the middle of
anticipation
or drawback
what to forge that day
what to repulse another

trapped in time folds
biological
stripped to wash
toilet flushed
clothed then set free
in the middle of what was
what will be

for the clock of the city
depends on the little man
to walk in circles
raise families in cycles
exit mechanized clocks
retract for another
splashed cuckoo
morning is due
then showdows lengthen
alarms reset
for repeat events
in sweet cliched time...

Your ending was the perfect closing!

and so on, and so on, and so on...

Good to read you again! It's been awhile!

Big hug,
