time is everything
because one life is all that we have that
still matters to us
i am here and now
life is not a relay race
within my own lifetime i need to experience
the vast expanse of time
digitized into mere volumes that fit so easily into my attache
speed is crucial because
i need to make time in order to
fill it up with even more high-paced activities
i need the density to match up to my intensity
it's just that time,
as measured not in heartbeats
but in logarithmic man-seconds,
happens to be the flavor-of-the-day dimension
to measure up how full a life
i have lived till the end.
