The time of day when were you born:

afternoon, evening, night or morn?

Do you know? And does it matter?

Did it determine your long-term weather?

Is it best to know, or best to ignore?

The clock’s a different thing by far

to astrology and your birth star;

instead of birth signs, precision’s better:

the time of day.

(My wife and I were actually born

same day, same year, but night or morn?

or in between? – we can’t say whether

one is older than the other.

It doesn’t matter. We’re happy to ignore

the time of day.)
