The Time Lords

Objects May Be Closer than they Appear

The lords who rule our time are very tricky about our perception of it.  A span of years can appear to be an endless walk or just a few days back.  We’ve never really seen time and can never state what its actual speed is, much as we may try to nail it into a timeline, as it were.  To the point, I was thinking about the Williamsburg Bridge one day.  It connects Manhattan to Williamsburg, Brooklyn as it has since its opening in 1903.  Slender crisscrossed arms of reinforced steel proclaim and celebrate a new process of construction which began to sweep the country in the form of early skyscrapers.  The Williamsburg was built in a fraction of the time it took to build the more famous Brooklyn Bridge 17 years earlier and was considered ultra-modern.
