There is no time other than

             NOW

so why do we allow

so much dust

to get in  and foul

the very air we live?

The past we breathe in.

The future we cough out.

Meanwhile all about

the thing IS in and of itself.

We are but an illusion

of yesterdays and tomorrows.

We borrow and live

on broken time

and we dream

like a broken heart

of when we might find

no need to be elsewhere

or even to care

but just rejoice and BE

somehow

      NOW.
