Listen to poem:

And Now Is Not When Not Is Now

And Now is Not When Not is Now
David J Walker
 
If everything must happen Now
And Now is now and not is not
 
And Now is then and Thin is Got
And one is When and win is lost
 
Wind will wend its way past Lest
(And sleep is never fraught with cost)
 
And evening east and morning west
And truth is lies unless its tossed
 
And everything has died in jest
The sun decries the midday frost
 
Now is not and not is now
And not will never cost a lot
