Here and now
Sparks against eternity
With potential
Requiring time,
So little of it,
And opportunity,
Much of it,
And a whisper
Of yes
On the scale
Of zero.
Eternity says
So what!
Talent pales
And only time's
Oblivion prevails
Against our faintest
Flip of fin
Or electric burst
Of presence,
Or its wear or futile promise.
God!
What a name!
What an appellation
To use for exclamation
Against insoluble reality!
But it's all we have
To express
The inexpressible
Irrepressible
Urge to be
Our little bit
In the face of.
