It's so odd
the distant clock.
Chiming and rotating counter clockwise
and the sensation.
The sensation of flying backwards
neither too fast nor too slow
yet it happens so quickly.
You can't believe it's happened.
When the hands of the clock have stopped
when the quick rushes of figures have subsided
& when the fast-forwarded voices are over,
you know your done.
