A viscosity of time trickles from a sound shower where words, as tactile temporal objects, fall out of the mouth onto the listening body, sticking and slipping on/through the clothes, skin, visceral crevices before scattering on the ground. As Sartre described the viscosity of life through the embodied and visceral experience of ‘nausea’, time holds the same viscosity that has intensities of condensed, wet, lubricated and nauseating contingencies.
