Anticipation
after Carly Simon’s song

We never know
about days to come,
if we’re real now

or just some
past anticipation
appearing —

makin’ us wait —
with time unfettered
in us too late.

Tomorrow we
may not remember
our own nature.

So step carefully —
sink only into this now
’cause here we are

singin’ in
            the good
                      old days.

. . . . .
