“Just Killing Time” by Tommie Olofsson
smashing clocks
with delicious
delirious anger
fed up with the
cruelty of time
bash the face
break the hands
kill the tick-tock
that arrogant
voice of a thief
sneering even
while dying in
grip of your rage
like he thinks
you a fool like he
knows something
special a secret to
take to his grave
From my book Small Noise
Writer Lynne Sargent

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

I am where the valleys are deep, the mountains are high, and the wind moans through trees...
The only opponent who can claim to be ‘The Greatest’. Several billion KO’s; no defeats, yet even with that stat we still hate him. Superb poem, Paul.

Superb. You gave “killing time” a new meaning. But why kill the messenger?
