Tick Tock

Our time is obsessed with time.

There has to be a deadline for everything.

It all must be done by a certain day and be in a certain place, or else-

There’s nothing else.

Whatever you wanted to accomplish,

wave goodbye.

But you had it had done on time?

There were problems with your computer?

Your car? Your hands?

A lifeline may care,

A deadline does not.
