“The clock has no hands, only teeth.”

The room has eateneveryone who entered,yet something remained hungry:the clock.

The clock has no handsonly teethslowly chewinganother hour.

The pendulumis a gallowsswinging betweenalmost and never.

Each tick proves the room has no exit;each tock says there never did.
