“Polar ice is melting and changing Earth’s rotation. It’s messing with time itself”
—CNN

One cannot mess with “time itself.”
Time never is alone,
But woven into space. A shelf
Of tomes have made this known.

Some books, though, say there’s only space
And matter; time’s a quirk
That tasks most of the human race
To punch a clock at work.

However nature’s mills may grind,
By warming up the globe,
It’s we who’ve made the world unwind.
What book is next up? Job.
