“If I could turn back time…” Would I spend it any more wisely? And if I did, would I like that person as well as this one. Feeling ambivalent and contemplative about returning to CST. Pondering all the time I’ve wasted this year. As I outline a few ambitious projects for November and December, I recalled this scrap of a poem I wrote so many years ago called:
Loose Change
I wonder at my propensity
to spend time like so much
loose change
feeding the voracious
vending machine dispensing time
consumed on the run
without second thought
and little memory
