If on awakening
The world about me
And all things in it
Had suddenly become a million times bigger
Than when I went to sleep
I would have no way of knowing
As all would stay in proportion
With no reference to previous scales
So too if I awoke
And all about me had become
A million times smaller
Than when I went to sleep
Again how would I know?
But if the pace of time
Increased or decreased
By a million fold
I would surely know
