THE WATCH… - Olamide Santos
I once had a bad watch
And watched as time got corrupted
The hour stopped every sixty minutes
Creating second hand realities
I, a self-appointed watchman
Consulted with the watch maker
How do I correct the times?
How do I reset this watch?
My fourth
He simply told me
the watch was too old to perform
The wheels rusty to work
He asked me to get a another watch
New and reliable not a second hand
Another old watch will also disappoint
Unfortunately
I have to wait for the four year cycle
When the watch shop opens again
