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
           
                 
           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
