This Smart Watch Will Last

 

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in

 

-Henry David Thoreau, Walden

 

I do not set the time; time simply is:

The dawning day requires no entrance code

The morning frost need not be set to wake

The yakking crows cannot be switched to “Off”

 

The lingering fog sends no notifications

The bare-limbed oaks re-set themselves in spring

The sky is the background app refresh

The wind is a warranty for life

 

All these good things are made to be -

I do not set the time, but God sets me
