Curtis Johnson Poet Prose

Now What

Now What

The Past Is Gone
We pursued it
We went through it
We can’t undo it

The Present Is Here
Like it or not; it just is
The milk is spilled; deal with it
Change it, or leave it alone

The Future Is Coming
Keep looking wide-eyed, or dare to blink
But beware of what you eat and drink
It’s coming sooner than you think

11202016  3rd Pl. PS Contest: Past, Present, Future,                                     Nayda Evette Negron
