it takes awhile to reset
all the clocks
after the power goes out
in the middle of the night.
the stove,
the microwave,
the alarm clock.
each with its own
complex way of staying true.
one by one,
I stop the blinking,
some red, some white,
one blue. I push the buttons
getting close
to what time it really is.
all a little off
by a minute or two.
it's hard living in
this digital world
of blinking lights,
give me a wind up
any old day.
