Time Crime
I am wasting my time
That is what I'm doing
now
Why is that such an
offence?
And against who?
When is it that time
is used in a wonderful efficient way?
Tasks - check check
Working – oh I’m so
busy! Phonecalls phonecalls I'm important I'm swamped
OH you wouldn’t
believe how hard I worked today
Check check check just
23 more things on the todo list!
Oh yes the fulfilled
life is exhilarating
Doing doing doing from
breakfast (who has time!) till late night shlumping on the bed
Nope not for this here
girlie
She be home
She be doin not’in
And trying truly
trying
To find the place
within her
That feels completely
at peace
With not accomplishing
Try this
–
“So
tell me dearest, what did you do today?”
–
“Well
today, you see today, today –
I
DID NOTHING”
– “oh. Are you ill dear?!”
–
“Noooooothiiiinggg
I wanna do nothiiiiiiiing
I
wanna BE and not to DO
I
want to be free
Without
the guil-ty
How
come there’s no movie
Praising
the non-doing life
(vacation
does not count because it is a solidifier of the doing life – you wanna do
nothing? go on vacation! Then bring your ass back here and work work work
soldier! You want to eat don’t you? And send you’re
future-not-yet-existing-kids to college right? So don’t slack for a minute!....
