The best wasted time
is on each other.
We lavish it
on those with whom
wasted time feels
most sinfully rewarding,
and though we get next
to nothing back besides
the enjoyment
of that sin - of time
not well-employed, so much as
well-wrung, we find such time
strung out, well-wasted, and we
are ever on watch for opportunities
to do the same thing, to waste
time so precious, again.
The second-best wasted time
is meaningful work.
But that kind is oh so rare
you could waste your whole life looking
for just one chance to waste time like that.
The most amazing of all is when
an each other finds itself
- each, in the other -
not only an endless stretch of time
well worth wasting together, but also
a meaningful work to be made, created
by two pairs of hands in an effort
understated, elegant, with joy
in the making and love in
each day's labor.
time for that, most people
will never get to have
what we have. Here,
let's waste it
while we can!
