Waking up from our unexpected nap
Time panics since he no more than I
Knows how long we've slept. He selects
An hour at random -- 10? 1? octagon? --
Throws in a handful of minutes and
One for good luck. Occasionally
He decides we've woken up
Before we went to sleep. I say nothing
Not wanting to irritate an old man
And certainly not one who has
Such a sharpgleaming scythe.
