Cotton Candy by David Fischer

You evolve when you're eating cotton candy.
Once while eating cotton candy,
I absorbed my watch into my arm.
Later, it reappeared on my other arm,
subtley modified.
All the displays except the second hand
had been removed.
In my cotton-candy induced state
of enhanced power
and blinding high-speed clarity,
my body had subconsciously optimized
the design of my timekeeping device,
removing unnecessary and
distracting components,
while reducing energy consumption
and simplifying packaging.
It had also changed the minute
from 60 seconds
to 58 seconds.
I can't begin to explain
how much shaving those two seconds off
of every minute
has helped me in all aspects of my life.

If anything, THAT is why I am where I am today.
