Between Expectation and Memory
on time the threefold present
How did it get to be late
So early
Making my motions first straight
Then curly
Aswirl in the general tendency
Rounding the corner to circle the square
And being surprised to run into me
When I thought someone else was standing there
Squaring the circle to answer a prayer?
The only answer I hear is to be:
Present
As a leaf I fall
Pleasant
Into after all
Aswirl in the general tendency
Rounding the corner to circle the square
Squaring the circle to answer a prayer
When I thought someone else was standing there
And being surprised to run into me
How?
Between expectation and memory:
Now
