A Clock Stopped -- Not The Mantel's Emily DickinsonA clock stopped -- not the mantel'sGeneva's farthest skillCan't put the puppet bowingThat just now dangled still.

An awe came on the trinket!The figures hunched with pain,Then quivered out of decimalsInto degreeless noon.

It will not stir for doctors,This pendulum of snow;The shopman importunes it,While cool, concernless No

Nods from the gilded pointers,Nods from seconds slim,Decades of arrogance betweenThe dial life and him.
