if it took nine months?
who made you timekeeper in this play?
isn't that how you rob yourself of love?
give yourself a deadline to make--
a cross to bear,
five minutes late,
and off with your head
taking "too long"--says who?
it's all a claim of
not here now
"should have been done yesterday",
who says it wasn't
done in your mind
before you even began?
completion
now i lay a clock on it
and try to push and pull
and fit that one and a half hour job
into the
half hour box
and i just can't seem to do it!!!
so i conclude
brilliantly
"i suck"
what muck!
what senseless insanity is this?
one and a half hours
does not fit into
a half an hour box.
rest, angel,
there is no need.
who put you up to this task?
of twisting the left arm off your
doll so she can fit in the box
you found in the alley?
the monster
wants only to divide, separate,
and box up,
to keep control,
order,
that has no life!
no breath!
who can breathe
when quartered,
sorted,
and packed up to
fit the monster's agenda?
tick, tick, tick, tick
i know...
i know...
i know....
i know...
so what?
if it takes
nine years!!!
who made you
timekeeper
in this play?
