What is a week?
What is thing we call a
week, which is longer than
attention, longer than
definite memory, is too big
to be embraced and too
common to be ignored.
It might be a goldfish bowl
for one is always inside, looking
out; or outside, looking in.
It could be a digestive tract,
each segment named for how you
pass through it; oesophagus Monday,
duodenum Thursday.
There are few certainties; all days
are equal; each day bears the weight of
yesterday. More often than not, you will
awaken with the name of the day on
your lips. It is your job to
know the week. It is not the week’s job
to know you.
