time change

Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)



it’s March 27, 2022
it’s two o’clock in the morning
I change all my clocks to summer time
it’s three o’clock in the morning now
within seconds I’m one hour older

if I survive March 2022
if I survive April 2022
if I survive Mai 2022
if I survive June 2022
if I survive July 2022
if I survive August 2022
if I survive September 2022
if I survive October 2022
October 2022?

I need 30 days in October 2022!
maybe then I can say

it’s October 30, 2022
it’s two o’clock in the morning
I change all my clocks to standard time
it’s one o’clock in the morning now
within seconds I’m at my age again
