I don’t know if this worries me or not
That I may never enjoy the present moment, but always the future
The idea and hopes of the future
A moment you can’t possibly enjoy when it arrives
Let’s use food as an example
I look forward to eating out
I’m intrigued not by the first bite, but the idea of the first bite
I’m intrigued by the next bite more than the one I currently possess within my mouth
When I fork up that final bite, I’m already lugubrious
The final bite is the most depressing because you know nothing is coming next
It’s like that before it even reaches your tongue and teeth
Not tasting the flavors anymore
Just chewing chewing chewing…
…and then the swallow comes…
and the highlight of the day is in the rearview mirror
That’s the problem with the present
Experiences are happening too fast to grasp on to and enjoy
Slipping by at a rate impossible to get a grip on

More enthralled by the eve than the arrival
You know the best advice my uncle ever gave me:
Put time on your side
And he’s absolutely right
And yet, ultimately time is going to slay all of us
So much for an ally
And Finally, our final friend stabs us in the back
All of our hope is tied to an utterly hopeless send off
