Time measured and metered
codified and labeled
between clients and general
practice work, in tenths of an hour
little by little hours parsed and split
to show the progress, the value
the worth of time spent
But play, downtime, fun time
measured too, somewhat less
less spontaneous, more ordered
too, time with the girls, time to pause
minutes, moments to reflect, to write
to breath in and renew
all documented in fragments of
time recorded in six-minute bites
