What time is it by you?

such a complicated question,
you know
exactly
what I mean,

are you brushing your teeth,
hello or goidbye,
weeping into your pillow,
sun borning hopeful,
writing poems
a handful will brush by,
leaving your wet insides
even more dry
dissatisfied

dinner or breakfast,
day gone erased,
another wasted,
or
clock marked as
just started
and the
task of filling hours
an unwanted curse,
an incalculable calculus,
but insoluble
for there is no
their
no in,
in your life,
no
us
in the numerology of
your clock marking

time to rise
to church go
time to take
the woman out
for one more
nothing-to-say
silent dinner,
inject or flush,
bar dive,
TV mindless,
to high, to low,
to pick
right left or center,
to ***** or bandage,
to turn in,
or come of age

is it time to bed return
because you have just AM awoken,
and every any other place else is hell

no time to pay the bills,
no money, why bother,
time to worry,
why that is the only equation constant,
only the worry changes,
never the time

time to reconnoiter
a good book,
to tune the body up,
afternoon blues,
red eye time,
self
mutilation,
even verbal,
when?

D time?
deep dark
suffocation,
*****, all *****
or
shower bathe,
slough off the dead cells,
clean clothes clean start,
even at midnight

what time is it by you?

time to clean mop your life,
walk in new places,
walk to the roof,
just for the view

so many answers....

this I know
it is time for an answer,
