THE POINT

Is receding fast

Into infinity and/or eternity

Words are loosing meaning

Past is plain

Aspect is perfect

Future is running out of time

Start again in present tense

Like English teacher

Narrative is here and now

News events unfold on TV as we speak

Workers watch ads

To buy fads with tomorrow’s money

Weather forecast is good

Paper sun will shine

History repeats

Universe expands until it retreats

Life is black sand beach

Joker is looking for punch line

She cannot find

So keeps writing script

Lost for words and nonsense

Sad ending guaranteed

Having missed

THE POINT
