downtime

This is your downtime.
Time not designated, delineated, dedicated and distributed.
Time not taken, trivialised, appropriated, alphabetised,
Scheduled, strategised, sorted and spoken for.
Time not censored, strapped and stripped of substance.
Time not carved up, chewed up, swallowed.
Time not hollowed.
Time not filed, foldered, fixed or fastened down.
Time not cut up, cut down, cut through or cut round.
Time not wished away or wasted.
Time not devastated.
Time not hated.
Time not garrotted, time not grieved.
Time not timed.
Time not thieved.
This is your downtime.
And yours is what we say is yours.
Ours is the rest of your life.

Hard for me to thinks of anything fresh to say about time, the day, the instant except that I like this. Right now. And 'time not timed' stands out in a good way and is well positioned in your rant Elsie
