Come stand by the clock
Watch the seconds on parade,
the rose-covered floats,
inflatable cartoon figures

Curse the to-do list all you
want, it may be what
keeps you going.
A new radiator and a clean
bathroom may seem like
small achievements, but they
might be all you get

The large victories are bashful and
rare creatures, quick to bolt,
slow in arriving, a
longshot in the seventh race

Savor the grease under your fingernails.
