Ponderable
At the end of a day, is there one less day in your life or one more day in your life?
Continuity
Yesterday the sun went down;
this morning it came up--
as it has,
as it will.
A nagging question plagues philosophers:
why does the sun rise in the East at dawn
instead of rising in the West at eve?
They meant to solve this problem yesterday;
they met with failure once again today--
as they have,
as they will.
While one wise solver contemplates,
twelve folks toil to fill their plates.
Some produce, some sell their wares;
all seek exit from their cares--
one of which is not the sun
(save that their day's work is done).
West or East or Dawn or Eve
to philosophers they leave--
as they have,
as they will.
