Silent

Here I sit again, silent,
 not saying anything,
 pondering instead,
 what it was I should have said;
Too, too late now,
 the moment's gone,
 the chance for some clever comeback,
 some clever witticism
 lost from this present now,
Which too quickly became then
 and suddenly is past.

This is right, sometimes we just sit and keep silent, but our minds keep busy thinking and blaming us for doing this or not doing that. I like this poem. Nice!
