“Slower Minutes”
Studies show
that time is slowed
in different circumstances
In hospital chapels,
lover’s scandals,
and kitchen ballroom dances
A watch face churns
as seconds turn
to minutes then to hours
Going at a rate
which indicates
fate sits and sours
A waiting room,
a hopeless groom,
All racing against the chime
For when Father wakes,
and see’s he’s late,
the minutes will be back in time
