At the beginning,

we did not know but gold

as precious metal

and we were giving it

all of our attention.

By discovering platinum,

some thought

of a form of concurrence

and they realized

that it was even rarer.

It wasn’t until we thought

of a new alloy

that we realized the exceptional.

It is the same

with humanity and time.

We needed a goldsmith

like the Titan Prometheus

to realize this new vision.
