These clocks are subterranean. Their hands walk clockwise but move backwards. These clocks are immediate.
Now. Waltz may
Now. Be
They rupture continuous time to hold the spirit of the neglected and the forgotten.
Anything that swings evenly can be used to measure an interval but we first had the earth-sun, sand and water, the pendulum.
As tuning forks eased us into a sound fabric, messianic clocks merge causality and free will; setting up faulty knots to measure the wobbly movement of these elliptical times.
Watch. Now.
