Update (a poem for a friend)



Update


Or, The This That Is Just In, Should That That Be Nearly Out


My friend for so long, this is me here, to you

This isn’t meant to be heard in another’s voice

This here and now is between just us two:

Our only always way too short of a time

In not mere product of chance event so much

As it is of our conscious choice ——

History does not repeat so much

But events most certainly rhyme

& if things get insane, disjoint, out of touch

(If nothing else I hope this gets through)

Rememer that you, you, here & now, are enough,

Enough over which to rejoice ——

Every time I remember I rejoice anew.
