time

shot to Philadelphia over the weekend -
pretty frequent occurance these days -
in this case: Father's Day BBQ. . .

On this particular occasion -
in a very real way (it seems)
I experienced.. time.. sped up. . . - - - accelerated. . .
how did it happen?
*and you're free to try it (are you?). . .
I had a late night out the night before. . .
crashed at apt -
alarm blared way early -
cruised 6 train to Canal Street. . .
schlept over to line of grimey China buses. . .
paid (peanut) fare. . .
5 minutes till take off, stept in lil' china bakery - bought lil' coffee -
boarded - sat by stinky bathroom -
relocated -
bus rumbled to life.. we.. 'set sail' -
laptop, slid from bag -
had some listening to do -
tunes, freshly zapt into g4. . .
song after song - rad ones - rich - played one after next -
as we barreled through HOLLAND TUNNEL -
on over NJ bridges. . .
slid DVD -
acquired day before from lil' Brooklyn video store -
on in it went - played -
a ringer -
drew in, caught up -
thought bridged to thought -
branch to branch, on and on... -
thoughts aflur like so, it was as walked through bright Center City, bubble headphones aclamp on ears - pickt up a mango slushy thing at DUNKIN DONUTS - suckt that down - as onwards - up hipy WALNUT street - through RITTENHOUSE SQUARE - - - over sun drenched bridge - into peppy PENN campus - to sitting on stone stairs at Avril 50 cafe - younger bro - fresh back from IRAQ - pulls up in SUBARU - and it's a zing into burbs - to sitting back, back patio - cracking top off LOWENBRAU, Dad, sizzlin' burgers on GRILL - to teeth, mashing into burger. . . - and it's like.. 6:30! - "what the!"

That bus ride was the fastest I've experienced to date.. - nothing to do with the Chinese man's foot on the accelerator - more to do (I'd posit) with my being into something I really 'dug' - something 'opening doors' - asparking newness. . .
so we have keys in: being fascinated in/by something as means of accelerating time.. time quits dragging - gets 'flying' as cliche goes; time flies when having fun blah blah blah. . . - however - is that good - seeing as it's a quicker (in a sense) luge towards.. DEATH..
hmm, anyway, LIFE for now... LIFE experientiality.
then there's that catch - tought it up a while ago -
life's never faster or slower -
the days, the years -
they never go by faster or slower,
save (at times) (seemingly) between the ears..
