And Then It Was Sunday Because We Said So

wonder systems

Attack through the calendar. Sell mining contracts on previous eras' notion of time. Lose patience with Seven, lose patience with Ten, never forget Twelve. We continue the fractions. Every night is part of two days. Replace festivals outside of time with last-second resolutions. Increase the resolution. Be specific. New sentiments at intervals. Different thumbs on different balances. First/Third Estate. Moral/Coinage. Agoric/Domestic. Accountable/Responsible. Life/Work. Sin/Growth. Spacious/Timelike. Construct your own sense of risk. Look at your eyes from inside them. Look at your time from inside it. You can't write yourself out of the world, only further into. Wear your clock like it's going out of style.
