The breathing mechanism.

Looking at my watch 

I listened to 

the gentle tick tick.

It almost seemed

to be living

that I forgot

the time.

I've never worn a watch, so I can only read this as a symbol for watching one's life go by. Maybe dicing up life according to minutes & hours is a way to distract us from the bigger picture of our lives zooming by (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I think in these hundred miles an hour times we tend not to listen.
Strangely enough, lockdown changed that for a while, we were forced to gather our thoughts and stop.
Everyday In Britain they read out the death toll, soon it will read one hundred thousand dead. I would imagine time has stopped for those families. Has the mobile phone made the watch redundant.

You are right Paul everything is fast paced and more preoccupied in mobile technology. I'm old school I like my watch, its just a turn of the wrist! Yes the UK has sadly going through hell.
