Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Killing Time

what are you
a butcher
an assassin
are you kidding me

you nonchalantly
say you’re
just killing time

do you not see
it’s criminal
you’ll never come across
anything more valuable
than the precious
gift of time

Timothy Mcguire January 24, 2019 at 3:31 PM Wow! Line Gauthier January 24, 2019 at 8:45 PM LOL that phrase gives me the willies.

M. L. Kiser January 23, 2019 at 5:42 PM Priceless. Line Gauthier January 23, 2019 at 7:22 PM It's that the truth - time is absolutely priceless.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart January 23, 2019 at 10:18 AM Awesome. ;p Line Gauthier January 23, 2019 at 10:20 AM Thanks, Maureen.

Caren Krutsinger January 23, 2019 at 7:06 AM Time and I have such an up and down relationship, you have said what I wanted to say, Line, but in a better way. Line Gauthier January 23, 2019 at 10:10 AM It drives me absolutely insane to hear someone say "I'm just killing time"... maybe it's just jealousy that they should have all that extra time to waste.
