Remember
These things transgress.
Today is what there is-
a dried coffee cup,
an unread newspaper
(I only use the coupons, anyway.)
Time is a concept dubbed elemental,
but even little children understand-
the sun daily must set, and
sometimes, people are no more
(but everything must remain the same.)
Where I live these days, the moon nightly sinks
in the sky after dark settles in.
and everything is strange
and nothing makes sense
(yet I have long ago forgotten why.)
Tomorrow no longer propels me as once it did,
for here is now and present I must be.
These years pass out of my control
and often, I think of you
(but the one I remember never you were.)
