Cut Loose

Space or time ~

Which is it?

Time I can see on the clock

With the sweep of hands

But space?

Where in a day is the space

To do what should be done

What could be done

What wants to be done

When it should be done

In the work world

It is all proscribed and prescribed

Get it done by this time

Fill the quota by day’s end

Space is carved out in order of time

What order is there when

cut loose into open space

but still the tick of the clock

~ what should be done?

~ what could be done?

~ what wants to be done?

~ when should anything be done?

“You can have fun and do well. Just let loose a bit.”

~ Simone Biles, athlete
