POCKET WATCH

 

The pocket watch

sits

on an end table

in the apartment

 

It minds its own business

unaware

that it’s in 

a different time zone

and really six hours

behind the time

it’s arms are suggesting.

Time Is

Determined by earth's rotation rate, the position of the moon, and the direction and speed a fallen ant selects, right? :D
