This is a biographical piece about the timeline of the Timelord's personal consciousness. The timeline begins with a child (wearing the head of a black man, as the black man has not had the same opportunities to grow as the white man). The next point is man as a courageous young person- the fireman. At this point, man gets to have his own territory. Then man gets to prove his ability through the size of his sex and must fulfill his business, which is to open doors for ladies. Finally, man becomes very old and must compose his symphonies. The piece is lined with man's territory (a map), then moves into man's blood line (the line of colored pencil), then moves into man's thoughts (pages of an old dictionary), and finally finishes in the context of a clock- a false reality of life. John signs off the piece with his alphabet- a through z multiplied by the 1 through 27th powers.
