the rest of the world . does not share this same moment . exactly this way
unnoticed moments . pile up and melt away . between here and there
there isn’t much need . for a see-through umbrella . on a sunny day
struck by a moment . it takes time to readjust . to reality
we see the instant . that took forever to make . and let it pass by
bursting in orange . the maple taunts the blue sky . seizing its moment
so much energy . spent designing distractions . we miss the moments
hold on to moments . briefly, then let each one go . and grab the next one
memories remain . but the past feels different . than when it was new
on rare occasions . the world seems to stop spinning . for just a moment
