On Time

<p>Time. I can have it. I can give it. It can be taken from me or it can be allowed for me. I can save it and I can lose it. I can make up for its loss or I can waste it. I can arrive when it is right or be somewhere when it is wrong. I can even stop it or it can run on so quickly that I could never catch up.</p><p>More obscurely a stitch in it saves nine.</p><p>Time flies and yet drags but mostly it simply passes. It could come again or it might never come at all. I am a child of it but I also end up quite out of it even so. It can weigh heavily or it can go unnoticed. It is money and it is free. We can have it down but at some point it will be up. And it can be marked.</p><p>What follows is a phenomenology of marked time. In a world where everyone has the time for something or other or yet does not have the time for any specific thing marking time is of the utmost.</p><p>Author Bio : G.V.
