from The Figure in the Face

Six twenty-seven, and I'm at my best;
By ten past ten, I'm plunged into despair
Up to my waist – it quite hides all the rest
Of me – my helpless arms raised in the air; 
Quarter to three (or quarter after nine)
One arm is lowered, as if short of breath
Itself; four twenty: I become the sign
Of clocks stopped at the hour of Lincoln's death; 
One-armed at midnight and again at noon
(I see no difference) I keep pointing high
toward no hawk, no star, no escaped balloon –

– John Hollander (2002)
