““Where is this time to waste?               It’s gone, Dry and brittle               the minutes broke free                             from the tree of time.   Now the earth               eats the future                             in sixty second                                           spoonfuls As fast as it can               leaving nothing               for procrastinators. Nothing for writer’s block               to be hammered                             to. Nothing for when healing is not complete               and the bed Is of no comfort               nor rest.””
