Only Now
Does worry only exist
in our memory
Or is foresight
required to fret
Will a bear live in fear
of the hunter
Or ignore what
might happen unmet
When alarm bells go off
in the moment
Rejecting the
future and past
Is time at its essence
but present
All reference
— a rationalist caste
(The New Room: January, 2024)
