I Have Already


I have already made all of the mistakes I will ever make.
I have already walked all of the miles I will ever walk.
I have already seen all of the mysteries I will ever see.
It is the passing of time that makes it seem otherwise.

  1. Killing Time

    You may believe that you have
    Nothing more to do,
    But that’s wishful thinking.

    Life imposes lulls, tranquil
    Passages that make you feel
    Beneficent about things as they are.

    Then chaos resumes, both inner
    And outer calamities, mistakes
    Made intentionally or not.

    The road before you lengthens
    And strange lights spiral
    Across the arctic borealis.

    The mystery is not over
    Until you are, and then you will
    Have successfully killed time.
