So time is a human construct?

Time Cats

Some say time is not real,

Just a human construct,

But cats sense time better

Than their owners' alarms.

Scientists say now that

Time stands still in black holes.

How can something unreal

Stand still or move at all?

Perhaps time began with

Cats sleeping in the sun,

In a dream where they saw

How to be fed on time.

    I never look at a clock

    ...I am always late

    for others time'

    yet never early..why is that..*shrugs*..?

    my cat..jumps right here

    to tell me it is time for bed..

    my dog...he wakes me

    ...sometimes I try to fool them

    hmh, like last night and this morning

    now I feel like I have been hit with by a Mack truck..bob-tailing it

    Sheesh...my bad

    Time is as real as energy. Time is the measure of the motion of energy. It is the biological motion of the energy in the cat that causes it to sense the passage of time. It is the motion of energy that causes the sun to move and glow. It is the motion of all energy that gives us the concept of time. Time does exist even though it is abstract.

    I love your mind, we shared some reading material of late I see. I'm with the cat theory. Hey, you might want to read some stuff here, It is unrelated but so very informative. Read the Poems part of it if you have time...

    Time Cats make me want to say Groovy Man. I love your poem. The cat teaches us tricks!

  • ... how do I answer that question?

    does a cat sense when the end is near, does a dog?

    time is relative only to how we perceive it perhaps.

    Great ending.

    Time moves when we think it does.
