Tick Marks

Fascinated by
A desire to track time 
At the tightest possible grain
Ticking off fractions of a moment

But then one catches
halted by the slightest edge
Its fleeting qualities extruded infinitely 
Warping perspective like a paused tape

eyes finally tire of 
Tracing the interlaced details of the frame
The seconds are seconds again
and no time has passed

Weary from the hours spent
On the movement of the metronome
And longing for the formless days
Of years gone by
