There used to be phone numbers called “speaking clocks.” If you called one, the voice on the other end would say something like, “At the tone, the time will be ten o’clock.” Nowadays most speaking clocks are gone, and time is a condition rather than an event. This is a poem made of 12 talking flowers. Together, they form 144 events. You can read them in any order you’d like.

Robert Frost's "Come In"
"The poem has been interpreted in many ways: as a statement on free will, a metaphor for the darkness of the mind, a love letter to the unknown....Brodsky contends that the call of the bird represents grief, and the decision not to follow it into the darkness shows reason against impulse."
