the clocks    in constant flux
inch      towards ante meridiem.

displaying palindromes
in    tinned fish.

sterling
    heaven-sent parallels
                            sinking in
perfect synchronicity                              baited with the promise of dreams


descents marked                  by bells ringing

providential significance

in opalescent numerals

packed in oil at attention
announcing possibilities infinite.


      In the span of a minute I can spin a yarn
or cast a line, momentarily certain it will catch.

      if nothing else, for a moment
be sure its image will stare back
        like eyes from afar.
