Summa Sumarum



Summa Sumarum

Distance is measured in time
instead of kilometers.
3 hours drive.
30 minutes walk.
20 light years away from us.

Even work is measured in time
in hard work invested.
8 hours per day, 40 per week.
An hour overtime.
10 years of service.

Friendship, too
started to be measured in time.
In free time.
Having / not having enough time for:
an eight-minute phone call.
2 hours of coffee chat.
a night-long party.

Even love is measured in time
of invested emotions.
5 years spent together.
3rd wedding anniversary.
Love rented by the hour.

We create molds in which
we collect pieces of time
and we shape them.
Unit of length,
unit of weight,
unit of action,
unit of emotion,
unit of existence,
Billing currency.

Attempt to measure the immeasurable.
To waste the unwastable.
Time weights
to weigh life.
So we can pay
our bit of infinity.
