TIME AND SPACE
Feelings in humans are like time in space: the former moves while the latter stays.
Time is forever. Space doesn’t live that long – it requires updates. Though imprescriptible, time is still wrong for space.
Space is suicidal: it tends to an end. Time has no goal – like this evening that no one knows how to spend, or the clock on the wall.
Time never stops – it moves ahead. Space loses that race.
Time never turns backward unlike your head, and is aimed at space.
Space wants stability, tries to be fixed. It works on the absolute.
Time is unsteady. It constantly leaks through space, which it tends to pollute.
Their clash is their factor, their meaning, their cutting edge – like before comes with after or forever with the mourning for change.
They are far from agreement. In them we face our own design that makes us dream and suffer like space from acting like time.
