Why I Don't Wear A Watch

I don't want to be burdened by the construct that is time. I want to live for the moment and not have it measured by the relentless cycling of the second hand. Each experience doesn't need to be framed by a unit and marked forever. And though I know we must all agree to use this little agent so we can make our appointments, I will make it serve me, not I it.

I've tried watches, but I feel much better without a strap pinched around my wrist. I am relaxed, and I am John. Odd though, I love the face of a watch, I even have a small collection - in a box in my closet. I like clocks, too. Just not when they're running.
