Time And Time Again Poem by shimon weinroth

no two times are equal,
each interval has its own valence,
quantified and qualified by proximity
intensity, volume and depth,

there is nothing linear in the universe,
why then, do we uses tools
and too often linear math,
to measure non-linear phenomena,

do we have to readjust all our calculations
to account for discrepancies,
from a non-linear world to linear measurements
or can we hide behind the term negligible

oh, dear me, how complex,
said Alice,
to the mad hatter
and her Queen of Hearts
Physics is not my cup of tea
