The Encyclopedist's Conundrum

Whether it's
Skyscraper-sized hour glasses
Or the knee joints of humming-bird sized sumo wrestlers:
I make line drawings and definitions of them at Plato's
  Warehouse of Forms.
A tiny Peruvian Clepsydra,
The nose of a WWI aviator shot down over Romania:
These pose no problem.
But how do I measure the good time of an ant as she
Skips through a macaroni elbow?

Kirby Olson
