I wake up on a restful Saturday morning 5 DAYS 6 HOURS my phone with another wake up warning 5 DAYS 5 HOURS 45 MINUTES I settle at the table for a modest meal 5 DAYS 5 HOURS 10 MINUTES finding a ripe banana to peel 5 DAYS 5 HOURS I steady myself at my impromptu home 5 DAYS 4 HOURS 30 MINUTES the bright screen in monochrome 5 DAYS 4 HOURS the words on the page leading me astray 5 DAYS 3 HOURS as the time simply flies away 5 DAYS 2 HOURS with pen and pad I get to work 5 DAYS 2 HOURS scribbling like a listless clerk 5 DAYS 1 HOUR 30% my mental state in steep decline 5 DAYS 30 MINUTES 30% living to a deadline
