shapes of time

i was talking with a friend the other day. we were talking about calendar time and she said that she saw the passing of months happening in this endless counter-clockwise looping dimension. in conversation when she talks about time, she makes this counter-clockwise, circular motion with her finger. fascinating, eh? i, however, see a year as this tall, rectangular, clockwise event. to me, the spring is vertical and falling, summer short and horizontal and low to the "ground," fall is an upward moving, vertical element and then winter is mainly just the end and then the begining of a new rectangle. the rectangles never have tops of course and they line up through time creating an open city scape of sorts. my city has twenty-four and a half buildings, each with a different texture, color, style, focus, etc... sometimes at night when i take a step back and look out over the city, the lights that line it are so beautiful i can only weep.
