Notes About The Poem

ice cream lasts forever, coffee on endless refill.. or endlessly empty cups??


 

Forever

Theoretical physicists say that there’s really no such thing as “time.” That our perception of time is just how our minds work but that, in reality, everything is happening at once.

Somewhere, Harry James’ trumpet is crying out to lovers. Do you hear it?

Romeo is about to take stage for the first time - Kennedy is climbing into the convertible - and I’m about to meet my true love - will I know, did I know? Argh! 

Time passes by or stays, unseen. Contrails forever linger, flowers never die and kisses don’t end. 

This school day certainly feels like it’s lasting forever.

As I was reading this I thought to myself such deep thoughts and then I got to the last line and it brought it all together, I had to laugh. I love your quirky sense of humor, Anais.

So great, Anais! A fave! Nice to think it’s all happening together...except the pain or the school day!
