![]() Time has CollapsedA Poem by Jay Levon
"Time has collapsed."
These words were written in mathematical lipstick on my bathroom mirror. I found them this morning after the alarm clock woke me, and I stumbled in to relieve myself. Morning wood forced me to stand on my head to pee. When the job was complete, and I went to wash up, that is when I saw. "Time has collapsed." What does it mean? Is it important? Brushing my teeth I studied the handwriting. No real clues there. With it's masculine lines and feminine curls, it was nearly androgynous. Erasing it crossed my mind, but I decided against it. How did it get there? Other than myself no one had been in the apartment for weeks. I wanted to sort it out. I needed to really think on it, but the workday was calling. Maybe after work? No, that's no good Mandatory overtime all this week. Saturday? No, I told Mom I would visit. Mass and grocery shopping on Sunday leaves no time. Next Thursday! I don't think I have anything next Thursday! I'll be sure to pencil in a few hours for pondering. "Time has collapsed." Very curious. © 2012 Jay Levon |
