-The Periods-

1.
Picasso had his share, often classified by colors.
And Bob Dylan had some real beauties.

With me, cataloging lengths of time from start
to finish, it’s often a matter of a day-or-two;
maybe a week; more if I concentrate.
So I’ll grant you that.

2.
In the larger sense of interstellar residence,
a number of stars have been classified as "fixed",
but they’re not really "fixed" as most of us
define "fixed".
The population defines "fixed" as a word,
but cosmologists define "fixed" as a term.

Due to our technical know-how
we can plot their transitions in time
from place to place expanding the pictures
the constellations draw.

(For example, we know what the Big Dipper 
will look like in a hundred thousand years
and not even Ptolemy knew that.)

3.
Well, the bills are paid-up for the month and up to now
the meandering nodules of the virus haven't found me.
Sticky little devils.
