around the perimeter
of emotional awareness,
stands the decadent wisdom
of our past like youthful
soldiers sent into battle
without insight is is their last;
the days feverishly pass
by us in wisps of warm air:
lover's kisses in all the right places
without the need for Viagra
but ever so persistently that it
is done before it begins
and we lament loudly, wishing
we had heeded the curse;
backwards glancing belongs
to the age of fools who
presuppose the future is
predicated upon the past,
when we all know that life
is solely present focused,
the here and now and a
subtle understanding that
it was never meant to last.
