Peak of Present
When methane starts candlelight dinner
With fireflies on ancient water-bodies
Existence diminishes toward non-existence
Trust and love jump into the time-flow.
Who is there? I, you, or (s) he?
Which is the peak of present?
Before breathing couple of events
Load up into the memory-card
Futures jump on yesterdays
With one nanosecond pause at present.
Present is the dimensionless point of death
More volatile than RAM.
