The Timing
Cid Corman
This is the moment—
it always was—now proves to
be eternity
*
Nothing works—
just give it
a try and
you will see.
*
There are times like these
when nothing makes sense and you
understand nothing.
*
Remembering life—
what was that all about? and
what in hell is this?
*
They got to us and
we to you—what more is there
for you to get to?
*
Even this
passes and
becomes this.
