The Task At Hand

I will always walk

bound by the perpetuity

of two endless eternities

one called the future

and that what has long passed

down my own sort of path,

where my left foot

drags on through the bygone

and the right

towards the future of you.

And in this precise moment

for which I live

it is in the nick of time

that I shall continue to toe

this here eternal line.

Not for yesterday

or even tomorrow too,

so be that as it may

it is my feet that shall stay

right here in the now

or in the present,

whichever and the hell

that way that went.

But I guess that is all

one can ask

of this painful life

and it’s mysterious little task.
