DST

I can't believe the day is gone
from sleeping late, then paperwork
I thought I'd done and had to do all
over. Plus the errands, lunch, and now
it's almost five. Before you know it,
dusk will settle in and I must be somewhere
at seven, then set the clocks ahead and
yet another hour's is lost, another day of
productivity but oh, how quickly it
has disappeared. If I'd gotten up
a few hours earlier...but no.
I needed that, especially since I'll
lose some sleep tonight  because
of someone thinking that by calling
11, "12," it really changes things.
Would that other changes I would
like to see were managed so efficiently.
