Time

Time,
A succession of events
Leading in no particular direction, but
Leading nonetheless.

Millenia,
Centuries, decades, years, months,
Weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds:
Measurements of time.

Attempts
To assign precise calibrations
To events of rather uncertain duration.
Leading to confusion.

Order.
Events without a sequence in time reject reason.
Chickens before eggs, carts before horses …
Is reason so important?
