& this is now

& it will come forever again.

even after you are gone, now will come.

like time is a regular alley we dip our toes by,

as we sink further into our paths, our lives,

and days look like objects,

& weeks, all the same,

& people, so spectacular, with orbits,

& time, the strongest gravity,

the place where all mass spins,

where nothing rests, & in dizzy spells,

the quarks are startled,

& there's a buzz in the bones & the town,

& the goddamn papers, have you read the goddamn papers?

what the hell goes on? & where does it go?

whose pockets? whose intentions? & whose fucking idea?

but of course this is only now & it will come forever again,

so before i am gone forever, i will make tomorrow again.
