Leap February

                  Tick tock, tick tock cries
                   the bone clocks at six thirty.
                   Eyes see brief sunrise.
                                 

              

                   Today is February 29 which makes 2016 a leap year, but like 2012 it is  wholly divisible by 4. In 4 years time, 2020 will be wholly divisible and we will get a February 29. Google search will explain how, to manage seasonal human activities, calendars were devised. We follow the Gregorian but other tribes have their own.

                   Calendars apportion time and are understandable but of time, the dimension I have no inkling. No amount of staring at the moon is going to help.
