for a brief moment we get our time in the sun and then it is past
it is very rare to have something repeat and have it be the same
someone’s at the top got there first, ignored the views still believes they won
to do something new when you’re where you want to be is unthinkable
even though we know we can be easily led to believe elsewise
we’ve been trained to wait in line to buy things we don’t have the time to make
in constant motion the moment we are living is already past
in the little things we can find enough comfort to last the whole day
maybe it’s a dream that we cannot wake up from or locate the door
a moment becomes a memory because we saw it as special
