Existentialism

Existentialism What if this is reality but I am out of time? Perhaps my step is syncopated with the other marching drones and I am Zen and with the moment or perhaps I missed a beat could I be disjoint and dislocate from the moment we are in Were I as little as two hours behind would my reality be wholly appropriate? Take pause, consider the consequence if the rest of the world were ahead a mere two hours would be enough to profoundly make a difference. Why that would mean that only this morn I was wholly indiscreet I exposed myself in public my shower was on the street! I sang like Pavarotti well, with enthusiasm if not the skill what must those passersby have thought? “This madman will take a chill!” Am I now wrapped up so tight and safe in padded cell? Think of your life were you two hours out what did you do today? When you made fun of the boss at lunch was it actually with your friends in keeping or was it instead his 10 o'clock meeting, do you still have a job at all? How many wholly inappropriate acts are only OK because of their timing. I think I can be confident of what is actually real and what it is that exists but sometimes I absurdly worry about WHEN it actually is. ©T.Arnold
