No Time

No Time

There's no time right now
to close my eyes for a few moments
and focus on one single thought.

There's no time right now
to sit back and wait for
that unique wakefulness
which arrives sometimes
during moments of pause.

I can't afford to take the time to relax.

I can barely afford to pay attention
to the blank space after this word
long enough to finish
this poem.

This poem

I was driving down the highway this morning, and a POWERFUL sneeze occured, out of the blue and instantaneous, and I almost rolled my car when I jerked the wheel halfway around at the instant of the sneeze. Then I wrote this poem down on a tablet sheet while I was driving. (If it had been Winter and the road was icecovered ??????? )

OK in my book -

I like the way you caught the moment here. No matter what created the catalyst to write this, it's okay in my book. Gazoontite (sp?)
