the digital clock shouted
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
a power outage had rendered it incapable of going on without intervention
0:00
blink
re-set me!
0:00
blink
I guess that in some Buddhist-ish sort of way, it was pretty true
It’s always, only, now
There is not, and cannot be, then
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
even a broken clock is right
twice a day
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
a blinking clock is right
always
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
but now
don’t know how or when It started
if or when It will stop
whatever It, this, life, world, is
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
wake up to cat grooming herself
in “real-life” it could be 1:30, could be 5
very dark, very quiet,
all is dark and quiet except my brain
0:00
blink
this is the only time
I don’t know what time it is
after awakening, before there are any markers
like a paper delivery, or the guy across the street starting up the truck…
school bells, church bells
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
once there’s that marker, I can do the math
and come up with
the time
no matter what clock tells me
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
but before that, after dreaming, or less memorable, just sleep-
limbo, little clue
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
so the brain is flying
thoughts are all that exist
with no time,
no space
0:00
blink
selective interpretations of
how I’ve gotten here-
the bad choices, the bad breaks, of course
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
What have I done?
0:00
blink
what to do
“next”
when the day starts
0:00
blink
when the world joins me
0:00
blink
how to fix my little problems
how to fix the world’s big ones
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
thoughts run into feelings
0:00
blink
feelings into emotions
0:00
blink
emotions back into feelings
0:00
blink
the mind wanders, travels back again
knowing
0:00
blink
this isn’t the best time to “figure it all out”
yet
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
0:00
blink
being a mind,
that’s what it does
0:00
blink
or tries to do
0:00
