Sarah St Vincent Welch #102 the extra hour regrets (in conversation with other hours of 366)

photo of Robin Blau's sculpture The Time Thief in New Acton

the hour slid into the couch crack

stunned in automatic reset

clocks on screens confirming

its extraness.

hiding from expectations, plans

the lazy hour is getting away with it

at the good end of daylight saving

after all, paying it back (with low interest)

an hour should seem more for the time poor.

crossing its legs

it fumbles the to do list the promises to itself

witters, dawdles, pauses

at a view, a pose, with an accompanying snifter

an idle in Facebook a horoscope or so

stares in the mirror

considers the unfolded washing

regrets nothing

thanks KK, SH, and AC for inspiring the admission of this idle hour
