I bought some time today

Leave it to me to walk into a gallery, buy an antique clock and ask the restorer to pose for a blip. I successfully got the man who restored this clock to pose, and it looks like he has a sense of humor.






[poem excerpted out of context]



Come quickly -- as soon as
these blossoms open,
they fall.
This world exists
as a sheen of dew on flowers.
