What time is sunrise?

In September we lose the most daylight.


A clock?

Maybe –

If your story is

About light,

Or dark.


I know it’s later when it’s darker,

Earlier lighter,

But sometimes I know

It’s the reverse.

A clock?

I don’t need one.


“What’s the clock?”

Questions

Comments.

About what happened

When it didn’t

Happen

On time.

Which time?

Whose?


Clock.

Numbers. Spaces. Lines.

Ready? Set.

Only when someone is watching

A clock

Decides how fast is fast

Enough.


Cut pages;

Cut word;

Cut space;

Cut marks;

So the numbers turn faster,

So something happens fast

Enough.


What do I want from time?

More or less

Less is more.

If it’s not fast, it’s not interesting

I’m not interesting.

No, I suppose I’m not


No clock

Means no story

Just life –

Isn’t enough,

Except.


I don’t need a clock

To remind me

The same time

Looks different

At different times.


Life has a clock.

We just don’t notice

Until it doesn’t.


In September we lose one hour and seven minutes of daylight.


Choose a deadline

Choose a conflict

Maybe that’s why I’m stressed,

The deadline I chose for myself.


A clock?

What if I don’t want?

To know the time.


It’s my story.

What do I want from time –

This time –

More? Or less?


In September we lose 2.5 minutes of light per day.


Increase momentum;

Increase obstacles;

Develop the character;

Countdown.


Share, explain, exist

In the story

You pay attention to,

Not the time,

Because it’s yours

It’s interesting.


The whole world

Doesn’t care about

The clock –
