A Theological Wristwatch

 

At bedtime my watch suggests to me

That I should meditate with gratitude

For someone who is important in my life

Who gives a deeper meaning to each day

 

And so I stare at the lava-lamp effect

On the face of my watch, as if it were

An artifact from McGoohan’s The Village

Wanting information, not meditation

 

And I am grateful; it’s just that the watch

Suggests only For What, and not To Whom
