TickTok.

tick, tok. tick, tok... clunk.
singing songs within the silent mechanism,
and everyone is yearning...
...to get out to the inside.
to sing another different song completely,
so different from the one their always singing.
gears meshing against each other,
tearing apart brother
from brother, to one another.
and the clockworks part will fail completely,
the pendulum is constantly never swinging.
the colourless green things are sleeping.
and the clock, has stopped its stillness completely.
and everyone inside the mechanism,
has finally stopped their yearning yearnings.
and they are out.

in the style of literary nonsense verse.

  1. The descriptions are written very well, and it makes for some good imagery.

  3. I agree with Okie.
    I found myself kinda singing it in my head.
    It has a nice flow.

    You should write a bit more.
