Everything
Is happening so fast
Because, everything
Is happening so fast
Just does not
Seem like it because
Velocity is constant
Earth is spinning approximately
One thousand miles per hour
Through space at 67k mph
Acceleration and
Deceleration do not happen
On a large scale
Which if it did……
You would freak the F out
If it did so, either by
Geocentric spin deceleration
(You would float above the earth
Or at least instantly lose weight
Either by gravity or fecal matter)
Heliocentric acceleration
(Have no clue what would happen)
If you were to freeze
A time slice
Which I suppose
Would be like
Capturing a Gideon*
Placing Bibles in
Hotel rooms
That time slice would show
What happened in one moment
In a Planckian nanosecond
Recognizing that what occured
Occured “back” there
During the “spin” of its
Last known trajectory
Still
Which is not happening
Because, everything
Is happening all at once
There is no thing / nothing
Not happening right now
It just happened
“Back” there
Which may be different
“Up” ahead

Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

“Who are the fucking Gideons?
Ever met one?
No!
Ever seen one?
No!
But they’re all over the fucking world, putting Bibles in hotel rooms.
Every hotel room:
‘This Bible was placed here by a Gideon.’
When?
I’ve been here all day. I ain’t seen shit. I saw the housekeeper come and go, I saw the minibar guy come and go, I’ve never laid eyes on a fucking Gideon.
What are they – Ninjas? Where are they? Where’re they from – Gidea? What the fuck are these people? I’m gonna capture a Gideon. I’m gonna make that my hobby. I am. I’m gonna call the front desk one day: ‘Yeah, I don’t seem to have a Bible in my room.”
– Bill Hicks
Same goes for “time slices”
Meanwhile, we are all just Angels,
Dancing on the head of a pin.
