There’s something wrong with this here now –
This slender slice of time;
It casts a shadow on my brow
And smears my cheeks with grime.
And so I turn towards the past
Or else the days to come
And make believe that life’s a blast –
A tasty sugarplum.
But, all the while, I’m like some horse
That wanders through a dream;
I’m in the thrall of every force
And fall for any scheme.
If only I could look and see
The now is all there is to me.
