The Art of Time
Time is objectively linear
We know this
No matter what we want
Time is objectively linear
We can’t go back in time
We can’t go forward in time
We merely obey time
Art is subjectively linear
Do we know this?
No matter what we want
Art is subjectively linear
We can destroy art
We can create art
Art merely obeys us
But how can we know
What is objective
What is subjective
What is subjectively objective
What is objectively subjective
Can we even know at all?
