please understand the concept
that ‘now’ does not exist,
and if you get that
you’ll quickly realise
neither does the future,
so don’t look forward to it
make plans for it
tell each other that
‘one day’ you’ll do this or that,
the only dead cert is the past
and if it is written accurately
recorded comprehensively
unbiased and with honesty
we can all sit back and relish
what’s already been and gone
without the worry, anticipation
or false hope of what might be
