The Right Now (When NowHere is NoWhere)

Which Now its the Right Now?
I've lived through so many Wrong Nows
Nows that were too soon
And Now that were too late
Nows for which I was far too young
And Nows that dallied so long that
     they catch me too old to keep up with

I've planned too many wishful Nows
That ran me ragged with "Not Now!"s
      and "Not yet..."s
That cascaded into endless
      stepping stone Nows
Each sinking me deeper into Then
That Now that never comes but
      has the power to bury all Nows
      as it buries one from showing up
      to any Now along the Way

Yet we all still believe in Then...
It is the only day to endure
     the Wrong Now we are in
This Now, Rite Here
They one I can write about
     only because it is already gone
And again I missed it

For as all Nows, it has
The Right of Passage
