as time goes by

from the time we moved into this house
six months ago I have had this clock tower as
the view from my window and it was forever 8.40
it was then under scaffolding for some time and
I was dismayed that when the covers came off
that it was STILL the same time ; that was about 3 weeks ago
Tonight as we ambled slowly down the road I gradually
became aware that it was the right time

uh oh no excuses for being adrift now
