Present Tense

Ate my favorite cookie walking to the bathroom, didn't enjoy it. Thinking about my upcoming vacation was better than living it. Caught myself rushing to meditation class, thought about it. Clicked my alarm to pause wanted more time, I missed it. Argued with my friend never happens again, I did it. Savoring a chocolate delight looking for more, I'd ate it. Stay present. Lighten up.
