Super Short Story (175): Day
Realising there was a 31st day that month,
when he didn’t expect it,
he felt as if he is given extra time,
a bonus 24 hours.
Free yet stolen time.
But that is only in terms
of a looming deadline next month.
Time just flows on like we do,
despite our arbitrary artificial frameworks
of hours, weeks, months, years, lives and such.
