Time Each Word You Read Is Already In the Past
Let’s talk about time, no moment lasts,
the start of this poem’s already in the past
as you read these words I’ve written each word you read is the last word I’ve written,
the second you say it you’ve said it
this second now reading this already gone and no longer there to witness, no longer exist,
the second it’s the present it’s the past, the second it exists it’s extinct,
no one moment lasts,
present now the past
Read the first word and the line above, the first is the present
the last is the past,
the moment that you read “past” the line is in the past.
Life is a forever changing present,
and each present stays fixed in the past, fixing your past happens when you fix your future, and fixing your future happens in the present.
Your future is your present
there is no present
your past was your present
Your future is your gift
There’s no such thing as present in time
The past was your gift and your time.
Live for the future it’s in your control.
And this ladies and gentlemen is the Thinking Deep/Insanity border.
