Tick,
Cruising along the lonely one way streets.
Tock,
Swerving to avoid the fallen signboard.
Tick,
A turning point up left.
Tock,
Bearing left into the rest stop.
Tick,
Sidling up to the pump, rapidly decreasing acceleration.
Tock,
Twist the ignition, killing the engine.
Tick,
Exit the machine, unlocking the compartment cover.
Tock,
Lifting the handle, directing the nozzle; squeezing down.
Flip, flip, flip, flip.
The numbers tumble increasingly, faster and faster.
Tick, tick, tick, tick,
The meter sounds, prolonged unceasingly.
Erratic Behaviour
