"Revisions" and "Time Changes"

"Revisions"
It occurred to me, as I sat down to write,
with the click of a key,
this word, or that, or sentence or phrase,
is gone, wiped out.
There is no key, to take back the words
and wipe out hurt feelings,
once I have said,
... this word or that-
"Time Changes"
Yesterday was slow
heavy footed and long.
Time today flew
quick and airy light.
The clock measured the minutes,
each hour was the same,
… but time was not.
