Atlas Without Time


At times, I feel like Atlas, trying to support the entire world only upon my back, which obviously cannot bear any other significance. Even this becomes a struggle. For when I finally have control, the mighty “Zeus” creates another world for me to support. I want to let it all collapse around me, to observe as flames consume it all, leaving it to be reborn. And yet, I do not have the time.
