Retirement on the Time-Payment Plan
German refugee husband: “Liebchen – sweetness – what watch?”
German refugee wife: “Ten watch.”
Husband: “Such watch?”
Carl the Bartender: “You will get along beautifully in America.”
-Casablanca
I check the time on my retirement watch
(A Seiko; they did not think much of me)
And consider that there is no time at all
Unless Creation is some sort of clock
Childhood is watchless, timeless, careless, free
But adults must be catalogued and timed:
Bulova, Timex, Rolex, and Longines
And even a railway Regulator
I check the time on my retirement watch -
And hustle off to my chapter two job
