A "Pause for Words"

Where Does the Time Go?

You saw that unusual bird and

had to photograph it, research it.

 

You wrote and tinkered with a

new poem that couldn’t wait to be born.

 

You had to eat.

 

You fill the empty feeders for the songbirds.

 

A friend calls so you are happy

to chat. Another one texts and you reply.

 

Hours pass with your cats piled on your lap

and getting up would disturb them.

 

Too many mandatory work meetings.

 

Hours go into that new painting that needs

finished in time for an art show deadline.

 

You’re sucked into scrolling social media.

 

Sleep summons...

 

Time’s up.
