Notes About The Poem

Inspired by Jane Smiley's review of T. H. White's The Once and Future King
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/jun/03/featuresreviews.guardianreview4


Now

the once and future
now is now 
as now 
	once was

and naught now 
as now 
	is was

for now 
never is
only will 
	be was

What do we want? Time travel! When do we want it? It's irrelevant :) I enjoyed this, Beto. ~Mark
