he is rare this old man
he sways does metronome man in strange breezes
he has 2 faces like alternate clowns one comedic & bright the other tragic & dark
his motions conduct time and slow down just as space expands accellerates and starts where there is no time then speeds fleet across the hands of musicians toward an uncertain future still silent and finite as time implodes
larghissimo
coda of a lutenist for example
he is sceptical a straw man made up of strings at the origin of time
what if there are many universes and parallelograms ?
he says his views are unpopular with Czars and other tyrants
the metronome man he winds down
the music vanishes then he is silent metronome man
he is rare this clever engineer
