That Wall Clock And Me... Poem by Soumya Dash

The wall clock over my head
in this computer lab...
ticks tocks ticks tocks away
sometimes it's dead
many times it stops
always refuses to tick away...

The wall clock over my head
in this computer lab...
is a very arrogant clock
just like me, it refuses to walk
even if the world is running away...

Every student that enters the lab
despises the wall clock
from core of their hearts
just as they despise me..
the ticking away of time
makes them sad...
as their period flies by...

The wall clock over my head
in this computer lab...
changed in every possible way..
it even stopp'd breathing
it even stopp'd ticking..
just to make the period stay

But never the boys liked it..
nobody's noticed it's changed
everybody always shot glances
of hate and despise and frustration
at the clock away...
The clock's just like me...
That clock over my head
in this computer lab...
refuses to lose away...
