A girl sets her stop watch to zero. A boy sets his alarm clock to tomorrow. A dog sets her bones to memory, A cat sets her mat to history. A chair sets itself to be sat on, A lamp sets itself to be turned on. A book sets itself on fire, A pen sets itself to retire. Why is life so stiff and yesterday? Because the hero is set to last century? Or we are set to contrary?
