Counting Time

A year has months;
A month has weeks.
A week has days
Which brook no tweaks.

The days divide
By hours, neatly;
Hours, minutes.
Then, as fleetly,

Seconds tick
As time flies by.
We cannot pause it,
Though we try.

Is time relevant? I'm mystified. Hind sight seems to amaze us while we can't seem to fathom the actuality of it passing.
