Playing Boggle


Playing Boggle

The old timer with
its incessant ticking
finally expired after
some heavy sighs
and death rattles.
the kitchen timer was brought
to play.
Instantly,
my life improved,
my scores soared upwards,
as did my spirits, even if
K. continued to pound me
unremittingly
I didn’t care
as long as I did not
have to hear the ticking
of the old timer,
accelerating inversely
to my declining word
generation.
