Decal | age (time-lag)

Original french text: http://roadtonow-here.blogspot.com/2018/07/decal-age.html

Time is lacking, yet

I am referring to witchcraft

mediators whom

as

traders in remaining

time, behave

as time magicians.

If I stop a clock

another will betray me.

Where does this obsession for

clocks comes from?

Is it an unhealthy need wanting to watch

time at each moment

as if I'm mastering

the

past and the  future?

I comfort myself that it is the sound that captivates me

but in reality it is the invisible movement of its hands

that I want to observe.

After immobilizing them,

- in clear terms – after I have

stopped their functioning,

blocked their progress,

I proclaim the act of self-incrimination

“A case of unfaithfulness to oneself”

Time,

our only life,

companion.

One loses our beloved ones and our goods,

then we forget,

and we store old watches

while they are still functioning.

Time is everywhere

ahead or late depending

where I am

 at its mercy.

It's called Decal | age (time-lag)

but age does not have the time,

it takes everyone’s

own time.
