remembering now

a plate of chicken
mediterranean seasoned
sat before me as nourishment
i took a bite and sensed its substance

my mind wandered off
into the past
volumes of beauty
treasures of life
volumes of sorrow
cruelty of life
i turned them off
and returned to the meal

how it felt in my hand
spices and juices on my fingertips
before i could notice
the taste on my lips
my mind wandered off
into tomorrow

what ifs and banquets offered themselves
believing desires of future
will replace past pain

i return to the plate, it is
nearly empty having
consumed these morsels
without even noticing

sad i felt for wasting them
for past and future
are saying nothing
and this lunch, this fuel,
this life giving substance
deserves my current attention
