You mustn't confine yourself to the english language...you need
pictures.


You take a poloroid camera
and take a picture..
it takes a few minutes 
for the print to develop
right before your
very eyes.

If you jump
into the future
it's all blank..
and you have to wait a few minutes
to see...the universe
and everything in it.
