Argh daylight savings time ends – 2:00 AM November 6th 2022

Hour hands of o'clock get set back
sixty minutes gaining extra hour of Autumn
round about this same day of November

from this wayfaring chum
purposelessly manipulating a hold

with Standard Time Act of 1918,

a wartime measure for seven months
during World War I in the interest
of adding more daylight hours
to conserve energy resources)

a plain sensation of jet lag
(with earthling in the balance)
as if flying backwards
