AI Interpretation
Second to second difficulty reveals Sue as someone beyond timetables and reasons, instinctively holding right and wrong together because mind and body move as one.
The poem treats ordinary chronology as inadequate, reducing timetables to something as fragile and arbitrary as picking flowers. Saying that anything is the same as nothing to her does not flatten the world; it marks a refusal to pretend that particular reasons are final. Her real coherence comes from the last line, where mind and body are said to be fantastically the same.
Second to second is difficult for Sue; until she gets there everything else is just everything else. Timetables like picking flowers; she is instinctively right and wrong as one; in his opinion her mind and body are 'fantastically the same.'
