Casio
"CASIO"
two months ago I bought myself
a watch.
it was a water resistant Casio.
it wasn't expensive, just your
standard price of twenty dollars.
I put it on my wrist and felt a
small surge of pride run through
my body.
I remember my grandfather leaving
to work and the last thing he'd
put on was his Casio.
it was the watch of a hard
working man.
I never did bother to read
the instructions that came
with the watch and I suppose this
is why I thought my watch was
falling apart.
the metal band was loose and
it swirled around my wrist like
a ring toss.
I was positive I'd have to take
it in for repair.
two months later, I realized the
band had a clasp that could
be adjusted and I fixed my watch
before the life of my Casio
ran out of time.
