Since when?

Time traveling

Since when did we measure
time? Before the specious
present or Newton’s cause
and effectiveness, the
Greeks read stories in the stars,
Romans dialed the sun
to harvest daylight and
labyrinths tracked the seasons
of the moon. I bet cave women
gestured to the hearth and sky
wondering if their men
would die before nightfall.
