The Time Lord’s Error
by Marge Simon

Nearing the end of a task,
while ordering certain
transcendental truths
associated with
the vital achievements
of the human mind,

the Time Lords
made a minor mistake,
and the old alarm clock
beside Uncle Ben’s bed,
reliable as sin throughout
his impressively long years,
came to a halt, signaling
the end of an epoch.

Rusty and crusty
as its former owner,
a modest remnant
of the technological age,
it resides by his bed.
No mortal left on earth,
but the Time Lords have
corrected their error,
and that clock is still ticking.
