Future Past II
Time divisions, systematizations of the category of time, simulacra of chronometry and historical perception of the reality, illusionary notions of evolution and even reality, all those phenomena began to be unveiled by their own disappearance.
Their surfaces manifested themselves as such, through autonomous movement. Its dynamics was somehow similar to scratching. The structure and representations of time were scratching themselves, moving over. There was another dynamics underneath: it looked like empty space, then it looked like no space, then it couldn't be looked at, then it could only be entered and experienced with empty hands, no clothes, empty minds. Our bodies looked particularly peirceable by the void.
How can there be substance where there is still a subject?
How can there be time if there is nothing but no where?

A traditional Norfolk koan may assist:
Time of his life
He looks at his watch.
It is time he wasn't here.
He looks at his watch again.
It is time he was elsewhere.
Where should he be?
What is the right location,
For being,
At this time of day?
Does the universe allow anyone
To be anywhere
And anywhen
At ten past three
On a grey afternoon?
Or doesn't it matter?
Maybe it doesn't matter at all.
Maybe time is an illusion which we use
To structure our perception of reality
Here in the third dimension,
On a grey afternoon.
A few slow moments
Of freshly baked fruit scones,
Clotted cream,
And chunky third dimension
Strawberry jam
Would be nice.
Accompanied by
A synchronistic pot of Earl Grey tea
Unhurriedly consumed
In a parallel reality.
With a waft of Oil of Bergamot
From the empyrean.
He throws away his watch.
It's time for tea.
