Dave Mcgahan Poet Carpe Diem

There Was Nothing Like It

comparatively thinking, 
that it is a story, the entirety 
the hungry, the tired, the down trodden
the past and the present, and even
the future

all just a comparative that held
all the secrets, the mysterious dots
that could never connect, 

for it was an impossibility to even 
consider such a thing

And then there I was
caught right smack in the middle

ten years ago, it was ten years
ago, when my eyes saw
it for the very first time, 
and almost immediately
I knew, there was nothing like it
not no where, no how.

I think it was a phantom
realization 

of the inevitable 
which rarely coincides with
the past

but there it was
standing before me all perfectly
clear, almost brazen like 
in stature

calling itself, The Obvious

Peace!
