Miro Alarm Clock
by Alison Ross
Miro Alarm Clock/tells time backwards/and yells to the bastards/"time is a construct!"/a design/of the mind.
Miro Alarm Clock/tells time to go to hell/and rings the bells of hell/it sings and swells/to the rhythms/of the Book of Kells.
Miro Alarm Clock/tells time all the time/but then sells time for a dime/and chimes rhymes/posing as time.
Miro Alarm Clock/mimes the motion of time/as it crawls into the slime/the primordial muck/where time is sucked/into a demonic deconstruct.
Miro Alarm Clock/arms itself with a Glock/and shoots time into space/becoming cosmic waste.
