Standing on a sea of hot asphalt
What time is the questioned asked
Diving into a pocket
Another fishes around
One pulls out a cell phone
Bringing up a golden pocket watch
Plastic catches the light and shines brightly
It seems to glow like the sun
Electrons flow
Tiny gears that never stop
Liquid crystal flares to life
Move hands of brass
The response is the same.
"Two O'clock."
But the answer is very different.
