Jerry Spinelli quote ✍️

Quote

The Clock on the Morning Lenape Building Must Clocks be circles? Time is not a circle. Suppose the Mother of All Minutes startedright here, on the sidewalkin front of the Morning Lenape Building, and the paradeof minutes that followed--each of them, say, one inch long--headed out that way, down Bridge Street. Where would Now be? This minute? Out past the moon? Jupiter? The nearest star? Who came up with minutes, anyway? Who needs them? Name one good thing a minute's ever done. They shorten fun and measure misery. Get rid of them, I say. Down with minutes! And while you're at it--take hourswith you too. Don't get me startedon them. Clocks--that's the problem. Every clock is a nest of minutes and hours. Clocks strap us into their shape. Instead of heading for the nearest star, all we dois corkscrew. Clocks lock us into minutes, make Ferris wheel riders of us all, lug us round and roundfrom number to number, dice the time of our lives into tiny bitsuntil the bits are all we knowand the only question we care to ask is" What time is it?" As if minutes could tell. As if Arnold could look up at this clock onthe Lenape Building and read:15 Minutes till Found. As if Charlie's time is not forever stuckon Half Past Grace. As if a swarm of stinging minutes waits for Betty Lou to step outside. As if love does not tell all the time the Huffelmeyersneed to know.
Jerry Spinelli Love, Stargirl clocks time
