Now/here



Now here is nowhere
Out of nowhere now and here
Appear to be there
With a space to interfere
Becoming somewhere

Being here now even though
Maybe nowhere near
I am in the middle of
Nowhere and I know
Now here when and where I love
More than anything

At my time and place I go
On without going
Anywhere go everywhere

In the riddle of
The middle of nowhere and
Having found my place
Among the Joshua trees
Where they understand
Madmen and their memories

Oddities of grace
For the possibilities
They and I can see
Now with stardust in the sand
Here in time and space

Where I had to be
Nowhere now here to be me
