Wristwatch (edit3)

[Knot]

.

Hi duke.

"[A]ppointed" for "appointments" may be a grammatic twitch too far.

Maybe, but it didn't jar (and the sonics, appointed web of sticky time worked, for me) ... That said, I did hesitate a bit at 'scheduled'

Day Watch ............. like the new title (though I'm starting to imagine you as a fly!)

Forgot my wristwatch briefly– ........... given L8 I don't think you need this

left it lying on the dresser ................... again, L8 makes 'left' rather redundant.

darkly curled face-down

silent spider waiting

for its chance to tangle me

in its scheduled and appointed

web of sticky time.

Noticed missing weight in minutes

looped it back in place

(or it caught me again). .................. still not landing, duke. The idea is right but it doesn't feel solid enough, and the parentheses aren't helping.

Best, Knot
