ONLY ONE

“in all the world ONLY ONE”

jw marriott’s camelback inn

bears an imprint

upon entrance

to this little piece of paradise

“in all the world ONLY ONE”

yes

ONLY ONE camelback...

where time stands still.

there, a large clock 

with hands that never move

remind guests

to be present,

live in the moment,

do not let a minute slip away

and for one week...

time would do just that,

stand still.

 for moments in time

to be recorded.

one need not wonder,
the happenings
that unfold
while the clock is still...
