WATCH
What does this mean? Does it mean
I say what I mean? I'm confused yet:
first when 'Time' was invented, the
sundial worked for free. Then the
mechanical men took over : weights
and counterweights and chains and
pulleys. Clock towers in the village
square and trains that run on time.
A gift? Then clocks and then - the
magic moment I'm getting to : the
word. There aren't too many other
words like it. That thing on your wrist:
a 'Watch'. A massive word for what
we do, for what we've developed as
Time. Something you have to 'watch'
to tell. Thus the name that yet amazes.
