A bit of poetry on the streets! ✨This line (“Haciendo tiempo en lo vivo”) is part of the poem “Escribir” by Chantal Maillard. Spotted on the window of Barcelona-based photographer Ana Maria Sepúlveda (.mente). If you translate this literally, it means “making time in the living/alive.” “Hacer tiempo” is a common idiom meaning to kill time or to pass the time while waiting for something. How do you usually “hacer tiempo” when you’re waiting for a friend?
