Saved by the bell

absorbed in contemplation
wherein time disappears 
save by the alarm clock ringing
we cannot return to this world
to perform the chores we need to do
or have so decided to undertake

call it forgetfulness 
or a priority shift
we now activate 
timer on our phone

otherwise the eggs will over boil
