Time is many wheels revolving slowly
along a central spine...
an axle. Is it accident or holy,
this universal line?
The stars exist in circles, never-ending,
arrayed in common space.
The paradox? One's view of time's depending
upon the viewers pace.
The Earth and her companion form an axis,
an ordinary wheel.
Man, and this is where the parallax is,
has pride enough to feel
that time and space revolve around his need,
the need to understand
and, strangely, time now seems to be, indeed,
unfolding as if planned.
