\nand wish I hadn\u2019t.
\nTaken apart it was emptied out
\non a counter for repair,
\nthe owner claiming it ran slow,
\na minute later ticking too rapid
\nto circle the periphery of day.
\nThe reverse order of what
\na stopped clock is is also true,
\ncomplete refusal of a second split
\nin two. The screws were too profuse
\nbut tools were at hand. More than
\ntime was on the table. Anyone
\nwatching the jeweler work creation
\nback piece by piece could detect it.<\/p>\n
