Analysis of Stopwatch, clicked.
His face was unrecognizable
As if he were in a Dream
300 fathoms under the Ocean.
The Window was Open, so
I climbed in to take a Picture.
Sleeping Angels are Rare.
Finding the Window Open
Is much Rarer.
I knew I had been given a lucky
Break. But,
I must have moved.
I must have made a Noise.
Time seemed to hit a Stopwatch
& Started clicking.
Suddenly, he stirred.
Half sat up.
Then, all of the questions I had,
Floated away.
You don't ask Angels questions.
You take Notes.
But when I awoke,
All 3,000 of my Pens had dried
Ink and when
I got back from the Store with my Bics, that was it---Click!
The Memory was gone as it
It had never been.
