Living here and now
The time and place
we move between safe, unsafe
and unexpected events
We know security
and want to stay
anxious if we are not on
firm ground
Living here and now
and not believe
that you can do something about
the time around you
what is to come
or what has been
The day you can change
is the day
your in
right now
