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.

Nick Trim June 2, 2019 at 8:46 PM I don’t reckon I’ve got long to go you know, cuckooville is not far away this might even be it. Lucky I’ve always been like this so it’s not like I’m going mad, I’ve always been mad, it’s not that bad being mad. This is a justification of my madness so I’m aware of the madness that means I’m not yet mad :)
