daylight savings

I adjusted the clock this morning
seems my device is insufficiently sophisticated
I had to do it manually
it asked for confirmation.

I confirmed the settings
and lost another hour
real time
real place.

I spoke to you this morning
seems my conversation was insufficiently sophisticated
I was speaking manually not via my phone
you never asked for confirmation.

I checked our settings
we’d lost another hour
real time
real place.

Have you ever been engaged in a conversation, looked up to find the person you were conversing with was busy on their screen.

Clearly - a screen is more compelling than real time - real place.

The worst put down - ever!
