Parallel
by Clem Chou
To be early is to be on time.
To be on time is to be early.
A = B and B = A.
Early self-identifies with on time.
Time permeates all--
Tendrils of Seconds. Minutes. Hours. Days. Invade the senses.
Days that stretch into night and back into day, oscillating like a sine wave.
The limit does not exist.
If time goes on forever, then,
to infinity and beyond, where there are infinities greater than other infinities,
then what is early?
What is on time?
If you can flatten yourself and lie on top of the linear progression of past, present, and future,
all at once,
then
you are
on time.
And early.
