maybe the better question is how does this thing, this life, this me, work? sometimes it works great, and i'm like a champ! and some days, some weeks, some years later, it feels like maybe the screws came loosened over time with use, eventually one dislodged, causing other parts to become overburdened to compensate, and the wearing became uneven, further placing stress on yet other parts and pieces. and then it just stops working.
ironically, the two broken watches on my nightstand have become today's metaphor. placed there with the intention to one day seek out the special touch of an expert hand, to bring them back to life to do what they do best, count down to the future. but there they sit, suspended at 10:24 and 2:03, a little more dusty, not forgotten but not worthy of special attention. so what does one do with broken timepieces?
broken time pieces are either fixed or discarded, usually. i've been looking to buy a watch for the last two years. what does that tell you?
