All round the day was going down slow
\nNight like a river beginning to flow
\nI felt the beat of my mind go
\nDrifting into time passages
\nYears go falling in the fading light<\/p>\n

–Al Stewart\/Time Passages<\/p>\n

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
\nYou pull on your finger, then another finger,
\nthen your cigarette
\nThe wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget<\/p>\n

–David Bowie\/Rock and Roll Suicide<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a shadow you can actually see time go by, but you can’t ever catch it.
\nI’ve got kind of a thing about shadows. It’s a time thing when I watch shadows like clouds passing overhead. It’s a reality thing when I watch shadows of people. Like time which is and is not.<\/p>\n

Like a person who is and who is not.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They’re as real as anything else, I guess.<\/p>\n

Or as unreal.<\/p>\n
