Time
Majid Adin

Tonight
​I wonder for the first time 
what is Time? 

A drunkard silent man 
is looking at the dark clouds at night  

A lonely man in the freshness of the night 
counting clouds passing by 
in front of the moon 

Cloud six hundred twenty-third 
six hundred twenty-fourth 

six hundred twenty-fifth 
six hundred twenty-sixth 

and between them 
full bright moon 

six hundred twenty-seventh 
six hundred twenty-eighth

Majid Adin studied fine art and animation in Iran and was arrested there because of the political nature of his work. He fled his country and first met Good Chance in the Calais jungle camp in 2015. He came over to the UK in 2016, and since he attained the right to work, he has worked as an artist in London. Through collaboration with the Good Chance Ensemble, Majid won a competition to create the official music video for Elton John’s Rocket Man that has been viewed by over 100 million people worldwide. Majid is working on his first graphic novel, Hamid and Shakespeare, to be published in April 2021, and is a Trustee of Good Chance. Majid is part of the Change the Word poetry collective with Good Chance, and his poems have been published in their anthology, An Orchestra of Unexpected Sounds.
