A Fraction Out Of Step

I woke early with the usual Sunday morning feel…
All was calm, quiet, peaceful – actually quite tranquil
The sky was overcast and the morning seemed quite dark
And the outside world seemed so very far away

I checked the time; 7:48 the clock said
When I remembered suddenly that I hadn’t altered the time.
I checked the time on the computer, the mobile phone,
And the clock on the wall on the Landing

They all said roughly the same time.
Had the automatic updates failed? I thought
I sat
And pondered

And then realised it wasn’t Sunday at all.

We in the UK leap into Spring in the early hours of Sunday this weekend. I woke up this morning thinking it was tomorrow morning, whilst at the same time thinking I was also an hour behind after not moving the clocks forward an hour… so in essence I was ahead and behind at the same time. Not exactly in time, but rather between it… or just outside of it…

Time. It doesn’t half mess with your head at times…
