Internal Clocks

We changed the clocks at 2 a.m.

And so I woke at 4

But waited ‘til 5:30

‘Til I headed out the door.

 

Internal clocks remain confused

With switches to the time.

It may take several days or more

Of feeling “off” ‘til I’m

 

Adjusted to the mornings

Filling up with early light

And similarly, heading in

When 4 p.m. is night.

 

If we got used to Covid,

Wearing masks and feeling scared,

For trivial disturbances,

We should be well-prepared.
