Here it's nine o'clock am eastern daylight savings time <br />Which means...I'm not sure what it means.....where you live <br />As some places never change their clocks <br />How annoying <br />To live someplace where the time zone is consistent <br />Yet year upon year, season upon season without a need to adjust <br />You must always hear, ' Don't forget to Spring your clocks forward' <br />Or the other just as irritating 'Don't forget to Fall your clocks back' <br />I was daydreaming an hour ahead of what I would be if the clocks here <br />Never changed.... <br />About what Velveeta would be doing bout now.....Out in her garden looking for bugs <br />Walking in between the many hand toiled rows of colorful vegetable growth <br />Kneeling in the dirt paying no mind at all to her denim pedal pushers getting soiled <br />Her press on nails scooping up fertile Midwest soil as she crinkles her pretty little nose <br />To best sniff test it for the perfect and proper mix of manure compost <br />How I wish to and do....imagine her bending over at the waist <br />With her little trowel cocked and ready for entry into a new space <br />Where she will sow the few seeds of indigenous corn left in her pocket <br />Planting them with the same love she gives to me with her poetry..... <br />If my eye was a camera and I could be there with her.... <br />I'd snap me a few of Velveeta's sugar beans and a picture of <br />Velveeta's beautiful spread..... <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-may-be-just-another-red-state-woman-but-she-knows-what-time-it-is/
