Equinoxing
It’s so weird
Weirding
To watch the sun pass over
In front of the house
On its way west
So early in the day
But that’s how it is
This side of the planet
With the way we keep
Time and the pereceptions
Realized this way
What if we measured differently
What if we went by lunar time
As many do
Or simply measured seasons
As they felt
Would this day seem so strange
Knowing, as it is, that by three
This afternoon, it will look like
Early evening
Without standard time and
Saving time without the skill
To measure nanoseconds
Would passing moments feel
Differently feel righter
As we might know the
Passing and the tilting
Of our earth

An interesting thought to pose indeed. What would life be like if we didn’t have such advancements to measure time? Would it feel more of an illusion? Maybe we would feel less stressed to “make it on time” anywhere. Thank you for this brain food!

There’s a town in Europe where in the square there is a four-sided tower. On each tower’s side there is a large clock. Deliberately, each clock’s time is set differently from the others. The idea is, as you say, to relieve the stress from meeting at the center of of town “on time.” You’re welcome, and Thank you.
