the morning rush, the human clocks...

well.... during the tokyo rush hour this morning, i was with the rest of Tokyo being 'delivered' to my destination as the 'automation' of the rush hour systematically moves the crowd... as i was waiting for my turn to exit the station, i realised that the people were bobbing from left to right and back left again.. the reason for the bobbing motion is that the legs are slowly shuffliing, thus causing this effect... the other thing i realised is that everyone 'bobs' at their own pace... well... the picture of a gazillion moving clocks came to my mind and in front of me, i see many clocks moving at their own timing, in their own small little world... tick tock tick tock.... and i was one of the gazillion clocks too.... tick tock tick tock...
