Hickory-Doomsday Clock - poem

Hickory-Doomsday Clock

 

Analogue or Digital?

 

That Doomsday Clock has ticked since 1947

The sweep hand always dancing on the edge of doom

Sometimes a missile more (7, 6, 5, 4…

Sometimes a virus less (a jab, I guess)

 

I’ve been thinking of buying me one

Maybe from the times-table at Wal-Mart

Or as a timeless fashion from Amazon

I want to know the hour we’re going to die

 

But are we truly any closer to Heaven?

That Doomsday Clock has tocked since 1947
