The fear that our bodies are truly
Only vessels that take up room on an
Ever-spinning globe
Spurred the invention of
Time-
A morbid concept,
A unit of measurement tasked with
Counting down how long we have left to
Spin
Have left to take up space
Until death do us part.

The futility of human invention (and why this poem is pointless)
The fear that our bodies are truly
Only vessels that take up room on an
Ever-spinning globe
Spurred the invention of
Time-
A morbid concept,
A unit of measurement tasked with
Counting down how long we have left to
Spin
Have left to take up space
Until death do us part.
