9 Miles

9 miles is the same
If short or very long.
How can that be, I wondered?
Could it be that I am just wrong?

Time is different! And not the same!
But who am I to judge
How the clock goes rambling,
As if it is a game?

The clock ticks long and mightily
Always, through the years.
Millions sit and look at it,
Sometimes gracing it with their fears.

Tick, Tock…Tock Tick
Forward and backwards,
Throughout centuries of time…
More than 9 miles.
Many long years.
