1399: Alarm Clock by Jennifer Maier

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Alarm Clock by Jennifer Maier.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes … “When I travel away from my kids, I have to coordinate our calls, which means demystifying the difference between my time and their time. “I’m three hours behind you in California” or “I’m seven hours ahead of you in Greece.” All of this talk about “my time” and “your time” is so odd, anyway, when you think about it—as if any time is ours. That’s ours, O-U-R-S. No pun intended.”
