It’s unclear when time stopped functioning like a linear candle, but at one point during the night my words echoed for hours in a loop. The conversations became gerbils running on exercise ***** while black holes transported me to vast distances forward and back within the conversations. Now I know what power the “if-there-is-a-god” “God” enjoys. Having enough time and space to examine a conversation from any point in any space, volume or time. As we continue talking, I notice the conversation coming to the ****** But abruptly it jumps to the end. My friend looks to me for approval, and all I can say is that I must retrace my steps in this moment,              For I arrived sooner mentally, but not spiritually. What they don’t tell you in the Bible is how hard it is for the omnipotent asexual being to processes a conversation from end to beginning.         Imagine starting out with all the facts, and then quickly giving them away, yet you still had a vague idea that you held all the facts at one point In the timeline of this conversation. The awkwardness is so palpable, I could cut it like a cake… but only I’m aware the cake is poisoned. When a slice is handed to me, I think to myself, “Don’t eat that, it’s poison.” It’s tough being for the audience to tolerate this. You know I must eat for the process and entertainment to continue. My friend wants answers, and guidance. I’m supposed to be helping him in this time of need, or consoling him in some way. But I can’t without all the facts I have a vague idea I once possessed.

Time Ceases in the Middle of a Conversation
