Replying to a comment on:
They Knew Me From Adam (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
I tried to forget my tumbling universe
shifting things; that which
is uncontrollable.
But, of course,
it is harder than you can imagine.
One day familiar to today, but
somehow closer to yesterday,
i will be sitting; staring at
the future.
Now, the future and I will argue.
We will bicker over trite things:
philosophy
the economy, the way that girl's hair moves
and ultimately I will be right,
by every definition of the word.
May the past come knocking;
should it suggest a wiser resolution,
i will offer but a nod
and relive the mistake over, yet again.
For it is no mystery to these
past selves that I am quick to act.
And while from swiftness comes regret,
i am not one to waste much time
consoling myself.
