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.
