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!.... lalalalalife goes on)”

–         “oh.”
