There is no Time after Time

“…time…simply stopped moving, and remained idle”

-Yevgeny Vodolazkin, Laurus, p. 167

Having forgotten my wristwatch at home
I stopped at a dime store to buy one cheap
But they didn’t have any watches to sell
“You might try Wal-Mart,” the clerk suggested

Having forgotten my wristwatch at home
I didn’t have time to drive to Wal-Mart
And so I didn’t have time on my hands
But I wanted to meet my friend on time

The dashboard radio showed me the hour
And lunch with my thoughtful friend was without time
