My Clock Runneth Over

indeed the Lord is my Shepherd

but if he leadeth me to green pastures

it’s difficult to see them for the miles

and piles of neatly stacked papers

all waiting to be read or filed or

acted upon in ways I have long ago

intentionally forgotten

and even if I live a hundred years

lo and behold most of the stacks

will have crumbled into dust

hopefully long before I do

and that I suppose is the good news
