Clocks

Where this piece came from:  I hate time--well, at least the measured sort.  I hate how in the hustle and bustle we often glance at our cell phones or watches one, two, three times consecutively to even have the time register.  It belies our preoccupation of having to be wherever at a very specific whenever.  Frankly when one lives in the modern first world, it's hard to get away from the clock.  There will always be places to be and people to meet, but we have to remember the wise words of Simon and Garfunkle when we get in a time funk:

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy

A lot of people hate the mornings.  On my own, I'm a morning person.  I usually get up with the sun, but on some early shoot days I'm up as early as 4:30am.  But fuck it, as long as I plan I won't be rushed.  Hell, if I'm proactive enough I have sufficient time to wake and bake...muffins, of course. Winky blinky.

Just know, as hectic as life is, there is always time to look for fun and feel (as they say) groovy.

Enjoy "Clocks"

Clocks

How often do you check the time?

With places to be

People to see and date,

Ruminate for just one second how many moments were wasted

looking at your cell's face counting down until you're late.

Do you find yourself staring at the at the glaring red lines

waiting for :59 to bloom into zeroes that blare

declaring your booting out of bed?

Instead, forget the numbers

and enjoy your sleep.

Keep close the memories you make

and not the appointments that keep you up at night...

when really you should be focusing on holding your wife.
