Still Here?

Tick

       tick

             tick

                   tick

Black and white

and dark and grey,

the world was void;

             bare.

Tick

       tick

             tick

But looking closely,

slowly they came;

hues of colour,

       creeping.

Tick

       tick

Smudged and thick,

it won't erase.

This world is tainted;

                         tock.

"Persistence of Memory", Salvador Dali
