lenten journal: saving time
I am writing on Friday night, but most of you will read this on Saturday or later, which means this wa the night to write about daylight savings.
saving time
some time in the night we will be robbed of an hour of sleep in order that we might save daylight
the thieves will leave nothing but the promise that the hour saved will be kept safely and returned in the fall
but no one adequately explains the for this sleight of hand this spring-loaded arrogance
the sunrise I saw this morning through the giant airport windows took all the time it needed
perhaps we should begin a tradition of staying up until we think the clock springs forward
and then laugh at ourselves for thinking we could save time or that our clocks are of consequence
precision and perspective keep time to different rhythms one of the matches a heartbeat
Peace, Milton
