Together Now

TOGETHER NOW

Days expand

And stretch elastically

Our lives transformed

Chronologically

What day is this?

Who can say?

Tomorrow morning

Is a week away

A week, a month

I can’t remember

Last month was June

Or maybe November

Days blur

And march on silently

Last week’s events

Pass out of memory

Same time

New room

What is today?

Facetime or Zoom?

Déjà vu

What does it matter?

Time to visit

Time to chatter

Trying to get

Some business done

Waiting for word back

So far not one

Deadlines shmedlines

Read the headlines

“Stay Home!”

All our lives

We thought the present

Lasted maybe

Half a second

Now Now seems to

Last forever

Hope that we can

Hold it together now

Together Now

Together Now
