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.
