THE WRISTWATCHES

 ' . . . also i realised since i been ill i been getting into watches, nothing expensive, i'm poor as the proverbial.  i not bothered wearing one regularly for many years but i was thinking this renewed interest might be because of being ill, my relationship with time has changed, lots of it but too ill to make use of it.  don't mean to be morbid about it but wearing a watch again seems like  an acknowledgement of this, am i making sense ? . . . and wind up ones, i like the tactile feel, we're loosing the tactile feel in this touch screen age . . .  also i like old dial telephones, you remember old dial telephones . . .

           i not worn a watch

            for yeers

              now i got a drawerful

           ebays wunderful

             time caught

              ina machine

           genius&arrogance

             strapped

              onto

          our flesh&bone

             and 

           like a dreemcatcher

          is more about acknowledging

                 the

              

                p o w e r

             of dreems

           than catching them

           

                 a 

           watch is a nod

                  to

                the

         e n d l e s s m a r c h

              that we feel

               islikea

            plastic ruler

                when its

              morelikea

            ball of wool

         and i like the way

              theres a second hand

           jerkingspasticrelentless

            forever onward & scare-reminding

                  strapped onto

                   my

               flesh&bone
