I come out of unconsciousness, when I hear the coffee brewing, a start of another day
I go thru my wake up routine, turn things on, visit the non-mentioned room and pour my self some coffee
I hit the dial on the radio, there is organ music playing where the classical tunes should be, what’s this ?
I look at my computer screen and something is wrong
It says it an hour earlier than my brain wants to accept
How did I end up in a different time zone when I never left my home
Coffee inhaled, mind coming out of a fog
Something about Eastern standard, daylight saving time?
Spring, fall, backwards and forward I know it will come to me
I look at the clock on the wall, it’s my time one that I can accept
The world out there is saying one thing, yet around me I’m in a different zone
Oh, I’m in a time zone funk,
With all the adjusting that needs to be done
Clocks are a quick fix
Body clocks take longer, why am I not hungry when it time to it’s time to eat
The sun’s up earlier and sets way too early for my liking
It’s a game of catch up, against the backdrop
Of winters’ approach
When night overcomes day
It’s hard not to have that
Time Zone Funk

Perfect. 😎❤️
I LOVE this, Jon, because it is exactly how I feel about the time change. 🙂
You speak for many of us, I think!
I wish they would just leave it now and not change it again. Nice clock pictures!
Couldn’t agree with you more. 😊
Come to Arizona… we don’t change our clocks! But how I remember the days when we did … living in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
It was truly a funk!
I’m sitting here at my computer at 4:31 and the sky is much darker than it should be. How can my day be over so quickly? I would love to stay on DST, our state voted to stay on DST, but here we are, on Standard Time again. Bah.
A fascinating reflection and so many interesting comments, Jon. Recently, an Ojibwe friend told me a story about an anthropologist’s discovery. The anthropologist asked a Cree elder why the tribe didn’t watch the stars any more to read the weather and tell time, thinking the answer would be the centuries of colonial oppression they experienced. The anthropologist was surprised by the simple answer – “calendars and clocks.” Personally, I’m grateful daylight savings time finally ended and the hour I lost in the spring is finally back, making me feel I’m in sync with the natural world around me. It seems many others experience the change differently, and I find that interesting and intriguing.
Our time has changed too. Thanks for these clock photos. Anita
Fascinating. 😀 I really enjoyed this.
