John Lawless Poet Monoku

time's torment

I reside between 
                           past and present
                                                       A sojourner lost
                                                                              within the now
                                                                                                      of then

Neve Vesalius March 16, 2026 at 6:56 AM very meta John Lawless March 19, 2026 at 11:31 AM so I have become a metaphoric existentialist....can't wait to put that only resume....hehheee Neve Vesalius March 19, 2026 at 6:08 AM It's like metaphorical in an existential sense. John Lawless March 19, 2026 at 5:54 AM very interesting comment....I had to look up the meanings of the meta as a stand alone item...hmmm
