When in Swizerland this 29 birthday, I had an inspiration that made me change my mind about this project. It happened when I had an inspiring moment with a Swiss train station clock.

I was waiting for a train to go to Zurich, and I wanted to see the time. For the first time after a few trains already, I was noticing something really cool. The way the seconds dial moves. It doesn’t tick! It just moves smoothly towards the “12″ position. When it reach that spot, it holds for a moment and then… tick! it pushes the minutes dial by one minute, and continues to drift smoothly for another spin.

It was so memorizing! A though came for a visit. I was thinking, how time is endlessly moving, always changing and drifting. We are the ones, that run all over the charts… sometimes way past it, restlessly expecting the “time” to come, or before it, pulling on the dial for it to stop. But it’s clear, that we sit right on top of that dial. With mr.Time.

^_^ The seconds dial even had a little circle at the end of it. Exactly for an armchair with a chilled lemonade for us to sit on.

Later that night, I remembered a memory from the eleventh grade or so, when i just started to get animated and visual. In one of the poetry classes, we where reading a Byalik poem. I remember wanting so much to visualize that poem!

It fits me better, it fits my all over mind.

Then why not?

Why not have visual poetry?
