I'll "check you out" at your place.<BR/><BR/>Woden - I appreciate the compliment.Thanks for reading and commenting.<BR/><BR/>Vesper - Thank you for both the comment and the award. I read a limited number of people, and so I end up giving them back to the same people. I hope you aren't offended that I offer this one to those whose work I read. They know who they are (you, included). ;)<BR/><BR/>K. - Unfortunately, it seems sometimes that everything does indeed turn on a dime. Wish it weren't so. I thought the Dali clock and even the title of the work both complement this. Thanks for noticing!<BR/><BR/>Jennifer - I don't know how this looks on another screen, but I intended it to be a concrete poem arrow pointing to the period. The fast pace of the words does lead to the "now" "period." Thanks for continuing to read.<BR/><BR/>Jules, Angel, and Liz - Thanks for reading and commenting.
