Snow White cannot see as she wraps her blue band
around the delicate arm
as she's waved in the air beside the salt sea
where nothing can do her harm
The seagulls come down to play on the sand
as the watch ticks on the sun-tanned hand
and she smiles and rests 'neath the crystal face
where it's attached to the blue leather band
The waves roll in and break on the beach
while people bob on the surf in the reach
like a moving, breathing, liquid lawn
and the watch on the blue band ticks on
What could a timepiece know of grief
and the sorrow that flows in the heart
when it takes a bit of battery
and a dial to make it start?
The sun shines on while hours slip away
and the clove rests between night and day
while Snow White in the mechanical watch
doesn't feel the mist of the ocean spray.
How could she know the sorrows and joys
of the woman who wears her strapped to her arm?
as she weeps on the rock, or seeks down the strand
the lost man and his once unconditional charm?
