the rapid movement of life

life speeds by so quickly...
as i get older, the hands on the clock seem to speed up.
minutes fly by like seconds...
days are like hours.

last week was swallowed up by me being sick.
high fevers.
coughing.
respiratory flu.
misery.
(and my period. ugh.)

i am wading through the paper waters of my life.
and rummaging through the thousands of tiny bits and pieces.
figuring out how to spend my...
health
wealth
and time.

how to organize my thoughts, my numbers, these tiny slips of paper...
to prioritize
to discard
to put into little boxes.

(sigh)
the dream of an uncluttered life.
