JUST  NOW

 

Just now: that’s all we get.

Just now.

We forget on purpose.

We try to slide away

from what we promised.

We lie lies we call something else.

We get stuck in the mistakes

the regrets and the what if’s.

We get caught up in the plans

we never put into practice.

Too many words take over.

We forget that some people

listen, remember, are well

aware of what is going on just now.

We're not.
