Fireplace Chat

I have a clock over my fireplace
that starts when it wants,
that stops when it's tired,
disobedient to international standards,
governed only by the mechanics
of its own irrelevance.

I tolerate the rascal,
the irrational clock
over my non functioning fireplace,
'cause I fancy eccentrics
which tempts me to think,
maybe I ought to try.
