forgetting to remember

by Charlie Morgan

the time is never now, applied correctly
now is moveable, malleable and can be
tomorrow, yesterday, mayhaps last week.

ask any four year old. yesterday he saw
his Dada at McDonalds, it was a month ago.
ask me what i did last week, yesterday.
you get the same measure in my answers.

i use 'now' a lot; it's the only time
i can handle. don't ask about others;
i will stare-down a jackass looking
for a an answer that'll serve you.

I don't know either. Great poem, you have a great way of capturing what is up with little people.
