Better together

a second dies and no one mourns.
another second after the first
second dies and the second after
it doesn’t really mourn.
second after second
the seconds keep
dying, without being
mourned until
the whole minute dies
then the whole hour,
then the whole day,
then the whole week,
then the whole month,
then the whole year,
then the whole world.
