- It was too hot to wear on my wrist so I detached it and put it on the table before me. It left an imprint on my skin, I noticed, which was now cooling off. I look at it; silver and blue, mostly, with luminescent glow-in-the-dark indicators. It didn't seem like three o'clock, but it rarely lied to me. And it wouldn't surprise me if time had escaped under its watch. My watch's watch.
- It was a little smudged - surely not by my fingers though - and there were tiny specks of white clustered toward the basin side of it; escapee spittle from tooth-brushing. I ponder why I take pictures of myself in front of it. The sight I see is never the same as what my camera produces; never as pleasing anyway.
- I stop watching my watch and I'm 21. I stop looking at myself in the mirror and my hair grows, or I have a pimple somewhere new, or I need to shave again. I can't be doing both at the same time; I shouldn't be hung up on doing either. They are different ways of blinding myself. Time is infinite, just not for me. I will have a physical form, just not forever, or one I will always be conscious of...

Two Objects and the Space Between Them

So, two objects that both show the passing of time, and your relationship with time... I like the rhythm of the writing. Not sure whether I 100% grasped what you're saying or not - so I'm not going to shut up before I make a total fool of myself!
His trying to rip off that movie... umm stranger than fiction.
I liked that.
i liek stranger than fiction!
dale.....wow u r twenty one!
ur really old :p
I liked stranger than fiction too! Although I think it dragged a bit as it got towards the end...
And I'm not 21 yet Jess, I've got a whole lengthy month before that happens.
New post soon!
Hey, your writing is better than mine - and a hell of a lot better than 'akinogal's'. "See Please Here", though a fine example of Yoda speak, is not English. It is a mere jumble of words that seems to convey a message, then leads you to spam. Much like the 'canned food' sign in a supermarket actually...
Did you by chance catch my comment a few posts down? Unlike a supermarket sign or Akinogal's treachery, it will lead you to some damned good times!
As for my comments on this post.. I'll have to read it again before I delve into that. ;)
Jimzip :D
thanks people. :)
[and yes jim, I shall go there now for some of those damned good times you spoke of!]
