Two Approaches To Time Passing

"In our culture...
we recommend hobbies and entertainments...
as what our older citizens should do...
bingo...knitting...lawn bowling...and the rest...
to keep them from brooding about what lies ahead.
The old artist...never retiring...
shakes off such limiting chains.
As always...what he is interested in...
is not the shallow killing of time...
before time kills you...
but the penetration of the veil of candy floss...
we place over existence...
even if it leads to...
looking into the muzzle...
of what is to come..........."
