Time disorients me. It moves so irregularly, I feel as if i've lost hours and it's only been a minute. Then I let my mind wander for what I think is a short time and hours pass. I stay up too late and dates blur and the calendar speeds past. Yet the empty hours of each day are endless...when did it become November?
Time sneaks up on me, steals my life and energy before I can stop it. It's stealthy, but it drains me more than anything else. It destroys pleasure, flow, and continuity.
I want to rebel against it. Perhaps I could start by smashing clocks, burning calendars, throwing away the planner?
I don't want to live my life under the ticking clock. I don't want to mark the passage of each minute, each hour. I don't want to exist according to a 60-24-365 timeline.
But I'm in the minority, and if I disregard time, I'm not sure how I can survive in society. If only there was an alternative...
