Twenty-Five Past Eternity.

Staring at the clock, it mocks my plight.
Five minutes left, or so it claims,  
But time has turned to molasses;
Every tick a tiny giggle,  
As my coffee grows cold,  and
My chair re-forms to my shape.  
It’s then that I ponder
The deeper questions,
Like if I can train my stapler to fetch,  
Or if the printer is secretly plotting against me?

About Bob W Christian

Bob W Christian has been writing poetry for more than 20 years. He started as a way to help to process his thoughts and emotions as an autistic man, and to address the impact of CPTSD. As he wrote, and slowly gained the confidence to share his poems, he was given incredibly positive feedback, which spurred him to write more. During that time, he has written six books, and had numerous guest publications in books and magazines around the world. His work has earned several accolades recently, including recognition in the Dark Poet’s Club 2025 competition. Alongside poetry, Bob enjoys photographing nature and birds, and is often praised for his keen eye behind the lens. A husband, father and grandfather, he regularly shares his observations, reflections and creative work through his personal blog, The Ramblings of Bob Christian.
