The clock chimes on the hour and half hour.
It also chimes every quarter hour and in fact chimes every minute.
Sixty times per hour, so you always know when one minute has ended and the next has begun.
Sixty times per hour, one thousand four hundred and forty times a day, ten thousand and eighty times a week.
Around the clock, perceptions of time ebbing and flowing don’t exist.
There is only constant precision.
Real time in real time.
You learn to know when each minute will pass.
The more you listen the more accurate you become.
In the end you don’t need the chimes.
They are obsolete because you have become the clock.
