[2022] Sign of the times
If a watched pot can never boil
does a watched wind-up watch
ever recoil?
Normally, I wouldn't
give time the time of day
but the LED clock display
is randomly blinking lately
as if signalling for my attention
informing me that perhaps
I am presently too obsessed
with the overall concept
Well, I wouldn't be if it'd
stop that darn flashing
On the other hand . . .
it simply could be
a personal warning:
I'm not long for this Earth;
a rather depressing prospect
not really worth wasting
another second on
