In Other Times for Writer's Cramp |
In Other Times 32 lines Sam Adams Had spent half of his life On the other side of the world. Stuck in another time zone Hours from his native land. When he called home It was always a bad time Either for him or them. For many years he had worked For the U.S. State Department Often had to make death calls. Always difficult timing The best time would be 5:30 a.m. Local time in the U.S. About 5;30 pm closing time Overseas. That is when most people Might pick up the phone Thinking it might be important Before heading out the door. No one was prepared To receive such a call At any hour of the day or time. And Sam was always Stuck in the other time zone. NEW PROMPT DUE 17 hours 20 minutes 9 seconds I'm currently enjoying a family visit at the beach in a different time zone than I'm usually in, which makes remembering to judge The Cramp on time a challenge!
