If That's It

If it's that
second of friction that would collapse the solar ice caps,
due to what others and I both said they said, I doubt

if it's that
helpful for slowing down the new year's spin.
The world's timekeepers have to drink; I just asked

if it's that
broken clocks are correct or that they are exact,
completing a day or two of what they said they said.
