If a clock symbolizes Time, what does Time
                symbolize, our demise? If you say our lives
                are monotony's metonym, then what gives
                change its sound? Can't sounding out a perfect rhyme

                refer only to itself? Why can't I crack
                a statue, break a mirror, swing a hammer
                and not imply Time, Bad Luck, and Power? Are
                there any tick-tocks which won't evoke a clock?

                The claw pulls down the frame into the gate where
                it's exposed with a shutter and gone. A black
                hole is clear (or white) in negative ; a star

                however would make the silver crystals cake
                together, black. Instead develop raw stock.
                Light projects on, but not through it: it's opaque.
