Life on the Short Hand
April 19, 2011
Clocks are neutral sentinels
With crawling second hands
Il tourne lentement
This September afternoon
7th hour, French class, a soccer game awaits
Huit minutes
Move, hand, Move
“No,” it says, and continues its slow pace
S'il vous plaît, horloge, aller plus vite
I receive the same staccato answer
I give up on the stubborn clock and look away
Its refusal still ringing loudly in my ears
Then bang
It hits me
A whole year has flown by
Et maintenant, je le veux revenir
