Parsing the Time Whilst in a Queue
I'm not talking about the future as the future, because the future's the past, and the present's the past
PROMPT: like there's no tomorrow
“…Like there’s no tomorrow anymore and that’s what this is - this is the future - for the future as I’ve had it all my life - and it’s not a future as a whole, it’s the future as a whole, and it’s got to come. And so this girl who comes in is the future all right, and this girl who comes in is the past, because this girl is the past. And this girl who comes in is the past because this girl is the past. And so here I am, the future, because I’m telling you about it, and so I’ve been told.”
“You’re the future.”
“No, I’m not saying that. You see the future, and all I mean is this: I’m telling you all about the future, because this girl is the future and this girl is the past. “And so on, down the line.”
“What do you mean?”
“I know how things are.”
“What do you mean?”
“I know all about the future, and all about the past. But I’m not saying that’s the future, or that’s the past - I’m saying all these things I know, and all these things I don’t know.”
“What’s the present?”
“I’m not saying that’s the present. I’m not saying all these things are the same, and I’m not saying all these things are different. It’s all the same. But I’m not talking about the future as the future, because the future’s the past, and the present’s the past. And so what’s the point of that?”
“I don’t know.”
“All I’m saying is that I know about all these things, and that’s the point of it. I know all the time what’s happening here, and I know that’s all the unknowns, and that’s the future.”
“What’s the future?”
“The future, and all the unknowns, and everything’s the same, but I’m not talking about it. That’s all I’m saying.”
“All the unknowns?”
“Yes, all the unknowns. It’s all the same. I know how things are.”
“I still don’t understand.”
“I know all the time what’s going on here.”
“You do.”
