longer is, and I am, and he is not. But Elvis was before I was (was he not? Yes of course). And then I become and he was not, or no more.

So what can we say about all of this. One of the five–people took off, just up and went, up and left. So I will never know if he will remain in my time or not (when I am dead and he is dead, and if we meet each other, we can say, we came from the same time zone, if we have good memories, we’ll remember each other, or he will remember me, I got a bad memory; if we meet that is). We all think it is our time and our time only, when this is not true, the same again: it belongs to all of us. We all get only a portion of it (some more some less, not much, but enough, we were put here for a few reasons, one was to die), and we are all assigned to a process, to spend it, spend our time, like dollars or euros, soles and yen; if you are alert you will know it is called ‘time passing,’ and pass us, it will, it does.

Thus, we are assigned to spend it around each other. How we deal with it matters, even though we want to cut off its legs so it cannot walk any further, get away from us, but it does (that is why we get face lifts); it matters even though we want more of it to belong to us, me you, but it is out time, and again I must say, short at best, long if you are adventurous. If it was only your time, you would be on earth alone, so when I say hello to you, it is only because we were assigned to the same time zone, it is as simple as that.

Nuestro Tiempo [Escrito en el Aeropuerto de Chicago]

Es divertido como el tiempo funciona, ya que este funciona algo como esto: Estoy sentado en el Aeropuerto de Chicago (en este momento escribiendo esto) es alrededor de las 6:30 PM (14 de Febrero del 2006), cinco personas est?n sentadas cerca a mi—no las conozco, pero ellas est?n en mi tiempo, menos mal, como yo estoy en su tiempo; como Oprah est?, en este momento en mi tiempo (en alg?n sitio, en cualquier parte donde ella est?); como Elvis estuvo en cierta ?poca, en mi tiempo, pero no m?s, yo estoy, y ?l no est?. Pero Elvis estuvo antes que yo (?no? S? desde luego). Y despu?s me hice y ?l no, o nunca m?s. Entonces que podemos decir sobre todo esto. Uno de cinco personas se fue, solamente se levanto y se fue, se levanto y se march?. Entonces nunca sabr? si ?l permanecer? en mi tiempo o no (cuando este muerto y ?l est? muerto, y si nos encontramos el uno al otro, podremos decir, vinimos del mismo tiempo, si tenemos memorias buenas, recordaremos el uno al otro, o ?l me recordar?, yo tengo una memoria mala; si nos encontramos esto es).

Todos pensamos que esto es nuestro tiempo y s?lo nuestro tiempo, cuando esto no es verdadero, otra vez lo mismo: este pertenece a todos nosotros. Conseguimos s?lo una parte de ello (algunos m?s otros un poco menos, no mucho, pero suficiente, fuimos puestos aqu? por algunos motivos, uno de ellos es morir), y todos estamos asignados a un proceso, para pasarlo, gastar nuestro tiempo, como d?lares o euros
