Time Poem
now the sound of the trees is
worldwide
and I'm still here
staring when I should be bathing
children.
it's late, the bike's asleep on its feet.
the fields hang to the sun by
slackened lines...
when the grass breathes, things fall.
I saw
the luminous underneath of a moth.
and a blackbird
mouth to the glow of the hour in
hieroglyphics.
who left the light on the step?
pause
what is the pace of a glance?
the man at the wheel signs his speed
on the ringroad
right here in my reach, time is as
thick as stone
and as thin as a flying strand
it's night and somebody's
pushing his mower home
to the moon
(Alice Oswald)
Sigh, I do love Alice Oswald, there is something very movingly, achingly alive and yet still about her poetry.

11:13 pm - Not Important nor Urgent
|
I tried red bull for the first time in my whole life today because I was really falling asleep during the first hour of Conflicts. It wasn't really useful but I did just about stay awake. It actually tastes pretty good for all everyone says, but then again I can't tell the difference between Coke and Diet Coke. Mm I need to buy my condensed milk so I can start making my milk tea in the cold mornings again :D so gooood.
I was sort of hoping I would get to be an energizer bunny for the day and complete 10 million backlogged tasks and stay awake 48 hours.
Apparently not. I'm still lazy and sleepy. I want more daylight saving time. 1 day just dedicated to the things I procrastinate because they are Important but not Urgent.
Things I would do...
- catch up on ALL readings
- clean room and kitchen
- do my dissertation proposal
- redo my cv and write cover letters
i have such a lame list i know -_-
Alternative and cooler list...
- sleep in really, really, really ridiculously late
- go for a run in Regent's park
- use one of those recipes i keep cutting out or bookmarking and hoarding.
- finally attend a lunchtime lecture or a careers event
- write letters and postcards and send boxes to people at home
- go for a day trip to Warwick
Now I feel slightly guilty for typing this. I have been reading this book which says if we lived our lives by 5 minute slots we'd accomplish a whole lot more. (BUT I WOULD DIE IN THE PROCESS.)
