it's dark early
daylight savings time
whatever
tonight is black
and much, much too long
time
sixty seconds a minute sixty minutes an hour
and so on
time is too long
when you're waiting on something
I await the morn
my day begins with her
it is then time moves fast
much, much too fast
still . . . eventually
it is dark-thirty
soon to be black night again
time begins its slowing down period
time
an ambidextrous thing
an evil+good thing
all depends what you use it for

Yeah, somewhat, Lori, but I'm managing. It gets a little easier. Thanks for the read and comments and of course, big thanks for the hug.

I'm with you on this one.
I think I sleep about two to three hours a night.  With the time change it seems to make it worse, even though the number of hours are the same.  Just seems to drag.  No real answer.
Good luck with it on your end.
Great write, Jerry.

time is too long
when you're waiting on something

Amen to that!   And then it straps on wings and flies when we're doing something fun and/or with someone special and want to stretch it out!!
