the moment

Posted on by

They say that we should be
in the moment, cherish it
and live it completely, the moment
being all we have
 
and the future, the infinite
possibility of it, vast and strange
un-writtenness of it, dark swirling
Maybe of it, belongs to God
 
But the past, with its happy smells
bright fuzzy motion, sudden pains
and great meals, long sleepy
afternoons, belongs entirely
to the dog.
