I think it was a couple of days ago I really can't remember. Time is so irrelevant.
Well anyway, I was at Walgreens looking through the display of obnoxious sunglasses that were quite awful. (A real cheap thrill in other words.) Then there was a particular pair that aroused my curiosity. They were painted with a tasteless, unmatchable, neo-psychodelic, geometrical, multidimensional, moving wave patterns on the frames that made me a little bit nitzo, but nor for too long. I took the price tag and put it behind the lens so I can get a better idea of how stupid I would look if I bought them. I positioned these specs, flipped up my collar, and went to look in the mirror at the top of the display. When it wasn't there. Dazed, confused I spun around. There it is three aisles down. I wondered how it got there when I realized the Christmas decorations which were taken down already were hanging from the ceiling again. It's just a matter of time... How much time?Much to my dismay a careless shopper drove her cart over the ground I was standing on. The cart breezed through me because I wasn't really there. I took off the glasses and fell down. Slowly, I said, "Wow!" and stood up. A clerk came rushing up to me and asked if she could help me. I put the shades on again , said "no" and watched her watch me disappear. I walked to the relocated magazine rack and checked the dates on a few newspapers. It is a year later. The date changed again after I told myself it's two years later. Then I told myself ten years. I went back to where I left the clerk, and took the glasses off. Now what I saw was riotous acts of hopelessly insane people who claim they saw me disappear. I put the sunglasses in my pocket and left the store.
The next day I sat down and looked at the events that will happen a year from now. A year from now I will be sitting looking into the next year over and over until I died. I saw even further than that. I could see as far into the future as long as the glasses exist. Sometime twenty-six years from now I die. A day later the glasses broke and I could see no more.
