The Hour fantasies a meeting with the Minute and hopes to be together again.
After our interlude at 12,
With you and me
And Miss Second,
- To trigger the gong bell
We parted…
We made headlines for that stock today,
“Such a propitious listing
At a premium of sixty
An irrational exuberance”
Is what the papers said…
Since then,
I have been
Urging Miss Second
With Sisyphean tales,
That make futility
Resonate with such meanings,
To keep her at her rounds
And bring us together again.

I love your Szymborska quotes and homage. I wrote an entire album loosely based off her poetry. You can sample it here:
