Ode to Steve's Good Name

Part 1 (by Luke Douglas Fields):

Behind every face,
another
face crying into another
face

of a clock

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Prick
Cock

I missed you.

Part 2 (by Garland Sutton):

Between both your ears
A mother's
voice crying about a mother's
fate,

like a rock.

This
Rock in
Sick
Socks.
Tickety
Tock.

I'm issues.
