What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

We watch the clock
and count the days,
readjust habitual ways,
all in the interest of
keeping up with time.
What if, for a week, we
slowed it down; took it
back to zero ground,
and reclaimed the space
only known as ‘mine’?
Remove the watch
from your wrist, stop
keeping track and making
lists. Measure time only by
moments and not by minutes.
What would happen
without a morning alarm?
What would you miss, what
would be the harm? Maybe
now is just the time to see?
