Watch

Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.
William Faulkner
 
Can your eye resist the watch?
and your hand persist to mist the swatch
pissed when the hand twist is missed
you exist by a notch
SUBSIST: its gist is to assist
punctuality you kiss blotched! 

Do we live our lives incredibly fast? The not so Westerners would agree.  To them we live five seconds in a second.  Furthermore, punctuality is now in our DNA: Eat, Sleep, be on time. 
Even funnier, at least to me, are these Time Management books and the entire movement.  Save time: it reminds me of a McDonald's add in which the change saved from being on a Dollar Menu accumulates gradually.  Yes, we can definitely multitask and stop procrastinating and settle for okay instead of good and avoid traffic with the integrated GPS real-TIME traffic updates.  I was actually afraid that it was gonna be fake time.  

Basically I'm just trying to say that we should be aware of the time passing but not stalk it. Well, whatever. 


Interesting Fact:
According to a man named Paul Couderc, only one one-thousandth of a second is gained in sixty years of traveling at the speed of sound.

Here is a cool video I found on Youtube: Chicago-What time it is?
