Let's see what we can do with this
lovely, lovely thing that
goes
past all racial conflict and all
kinds of
conflicts.
It's a reflective tune and
sometime in your life
you will have occasion to say what is this thing called time.
You know what what
is that.
The clock you
go to work by the clock you
get your martini in the afternoon by the clock
and your coffee by the clock
and you have to get on the plane at a certain time
and arrive at a certain...
it goes on and on and on and on.
Time is a dictator as we know it.
Where does it go? What does it do?
Most of all, is it alive? Is it a thing
that we cannot touch
and is it alive.
Then one day you look in the mirror.
How old.
You say
where did the time go.
One day you will look back on it.
-Nina Simone
