The Present

Written By Sofya Yuditskaya

The Present, presents—

prepped for your participatory pleasure: a puzzle

a puzzle to solve

the puzzle of the present

gifted to you by right this moment!

here here here what she says 

putting up everything around her 

like she owns the place

no matter how hard i try to close my ears

snippets of the tale she spins seep through

worrying and spinning up towards the future

the past 

perfect

frozen in forgotten time

i expend all my effort on pulling focus on The Present

she seems to be always slipping to the future past

so fast,

swirled in burning drags of time

whirling towards worry

falling back on better days

The Present has some infuriating ways

of showing me she loves me

but the key to a good relationship

is patience and tranquility
