There

Time is a place
Suspiciously so,
Every hour a landmark
Its expanse marked
By a feeling
Favoured or not
Maybe you too
Look back your shoulder
Head turning as you walk
Presently with tears
At how the place prior
Treated you

Maybe you have
No memory at all
Having removed it
From your timeline
Because some clocks
Kept you waiting to numbness
Made you stand till you could
No longer walk away
Waiting on an empty street
For a cab that
You weren’t even sure
Would ever come

Maybe you tread
Unscheduled
Apprehensive of every puddle
Wanting too much to keep clean
To reach spotless
A place you don’t even know
Maybe when you are asked
Right now
Unsure as you are
Sometimes the sun’s glare
Sometimes the rain’s blur
In your eyes
Are you able to say
Presently,
That you are right here
In the moment?
