Being past

The grandfather clock,

Humming --- tock

Over sleeves of wet flesh,

Spilling tea over

Dusty sheets --- tick

Moment of there and now,

Tocking ---

tick ‘til it filled,

This word housed room

with the old oak smell of curving strokes

on paper

somewhere other than

ancient men --- tocking

primordial prose --- ticking

the present of dust

the passed from now

to the place of the ticking tock;

--- the tocking tick

why cant i learn this instead of how to test a population sample mean for correlation and variability. makes it seem pointless
