Merry Go rounds and out of sequence clocks - a villanelle

In the aftermath of this painful shock
Invisible sucker punch right to the gut
Time skews and confuses tick from tock

Unbeknownst at the crowing of the cock
Life’s insanely fast pace in a sudden rut
In the aftermath of this painful shock

When did the heart become the rock?
And from which lecture do I rebut?
Time skews and mixes tick from tock

Genuine truth takes a stop to mock
From the very cloth I was surely cut
In the aftermath of this painful shock

Every few seconds I glance at the clock
As I sit here and wonder where from what
Time skews and confuses tick from tock

Does this heartache fall upon the block?
Classic lines disguised in vulgar smut
In the aftermath of this painful shock
Time skews and confuses tick from tock
