LOST TIME
By Janice VeldmanShe looks at the clock
Reads 2:30
That can’t be
The other clock reads 2:30
Must be the power was out
But that one runs on batteries,
Hmm ...
Stumbles her way out of the room
What time is it?
2:30
But, it isn't dark
2:30 in the afternoon
I have been sleeping since last night?
No, you were up this morning
Remember?
Eating breakfast?
We looked at the texts and photos
We laughed at the humor of the grandkids
We opened a package together
No, I do not remember.
