I looked at my watch
and realized right away
that the time was not right
but as I watched the second hand
perform its dutiful head-down sweep
like Mr. Hardy's grain mill mule
peacefully unaware
that the glare of the hot sun
meant it could not be 7:35
I thought...
Well, I only need to measure
a small chunk of...space
no matter if
the start and end points
are not who they think they are.
