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.)
