At the center, where a cuckoo bird would live in a more traditional timepiece, is the juggler. dressed in harlequin style with a grey mask, he juggles shiny silver balls that correspond to each hour. as the clock chimes, another ball joins the rest until at midnight he juggles twelve balls in a complex pattern. after midnight the clock begins once more to fold in upon itself. the face lightens and the clouds return. the number of juggled balls decreases until the juggler himself vanishes. by noon it is a clock again, and no longer a dream.

We all run on two clocks. one is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. the other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.
