the return

more frequently I return
to the here and now
my controlling
like a rock
tossed in a pond
ripples spreading out
diminishing into a greater purpose
predictions morph
into complexity
wants disolve into whys
contentment is
a giant umbrella
with demands dripping off
like rain
and the here and now
is like a concert
and I have tickets

Here and There

I move from here to there
I turn this on that off
my cell phone chirps
get some of this and that
sign this and that
deposit it here and there
turn on the flat screen
forest fire here plane crash there
excessive bonuses here layoffs there
the sun breaks through
a gray rainy day
and I access the here and now
over my starbuck's coffee
