happy hour

of the seven clocks
watches
that I have
none are on the same
time. the stove,
the mircrowave oven.
wall clocks.
the phone.
a minute or two
either way seems to be
off.
but I catch the drift.
I pretty much
go by the sun
these days anyway,
when it decides to make
a rare appearance.
I have an egg timer
too.
a sundial.
and a window to look
out.
time doesn't seem
to be the issue
it used to be.
my friend jimmy told
me he has a girlfriend
who has the shape
of an hour glass
with all
the sand in the right
places. sometimes
he calls
me and tells me what
time it is too.
such as happy hour.
