Jetlag

Jetlag

My body tells me it’s 4 p.m. tomorrow, and somehow I lived Monday twice
I watched a record five and a quarter inspiring movies—
a befitting way to end the peace conference zeitgeist
One long LA layover lunch with a friend
Then rushed off to class for the night
My body tells me it’s 4 p.m. tomorrow, and somehow I lived Monday twice

Peace conference called Zeitgeist? Interesting choice of title for a peace conference, in light of the ever-growing popularity of the movies with the same name. Hmm...curious?

Zeitgeist: The conference theme was "Communicating Peace." I used the word "zeitgeist" to refer to the general mood, the "spirit of the times" at the conference, the intention which we participants were all seeking in our various efforts. I have not seen the movie by that name, so I'm unaware of any ironies or inconsistencies or even idiosyncrasies in my use of the term.
