“Where is this time to waste? It’s gone, Dry and brittle the minutes broke free from the tree of time. Now the earth eats the future in sixty second spoonfuls As fast as it can leaving nothing for procrastinators. Nothing for writer’s block to be hammered to. Nothing for when healing is not complete and the bed Is of no comfort nor rest.”
― Kenyatta García, This Sentimental Education
