The Watchmaker (a poem of my Father in Law)

The Watchmaker

Watches
Coiled springs,
Tiny wheels and gears
Fastened with miniscule screws
All ticking away in harmony

The watchmaker
Time obsessed
An occupation
A business
A delicate skill

Time his life
Dominates the days
The hours
The minutes

Being late: a cardinal sin
Being early an offense
"hurry up" a mantra

He was late for his own funeral
