Negative Tense

by Matthew Zangen

If the present were not so important to be prolonged,
those now not living in the future would not be past tensing.

Sadly, they are not already preparing for this not to have happened later,
lest having not yet secured ourselves now would not soon depart their will-being.

that's a little bit of a mind-twister. I like it - particularly the witty use of language.
