my digital clock quit telling time
started showing lies
confounded confabulations cryptic codes
no matter which way I read its face
downside up
right to left
left to right
even from behind
(a rather complicated view)
I told myself
iโd have to learn Hebrew
Arabic, Aramaic,
ancient Greek, Coptic
maybe some Klingon too
so I could remember what year it was
iโd try a few centuries on for size
cosmologically speaking
my digital clock ainโt shit
so fuck itโฆ
I set arbitrary alarms
how you like me now 3:33 a.m.
blowing kisses in the dark
that last an eternity
a few weeks ago
2nd century
I was up in Alexandria
Egypt (not the girl)
Hermes Trismegistus
asked me if I knew Billy Pilgrim
told me the Tralfamadorians
was onto something
I woke up hungry in Lincoln Park Zoo
I mustโve slept right through the alarms
lion giving me the fisheye
but it wasnโt quite feeding time
I only eat oatmeal for breakfast
so I walked back home &
took a nap
tomorrow iโma ask my momma
to mail me my old alarm clock
โBaby Benโ heโs cheerful
little white analog motherfucker
his numbers glow in the dark
heโs got a brass halo & a little brass key
stuck in his back
he never lies to me
he only forgets the time
when I forget to rewind him
