A Pome a Day for a Year

It can be 4:00 in the afternoon,
it can be 5:00 in the evening,
but the two cannot switch,
and the point at which
(these times make sense)
is twenty to five,
for as soon as that five
makes an appearance,
the dusk has hit,
regardless of light abounding
in Summer, because then
it gets dark at nine o’clock
sometimes and you
would not say nine
in the afternoon, despite,
despite,
it actually being after the noon.
