you can’t fix it
you can’t fix it
and it is broken
move on
you can
do nothing
about it
it has moved
beyond
your ability
to touch
into the realm
of the past–
increasingly distant,
incrementally weaker.
also, don’t waste your
breath
on the future
–a thing which
never arrives–
but is, rather,
always
ahead of us.
now is when you love.
now is when you choose
to do something
good
with your life
–not necessarily
some grand gesture
but perhaps
some
little thing–
but
do
something.
be intentional
about it.
quit screwing around
and get something
done.
something that matters.
something like
loving
me.

I like the way you structured the poem, pushing the reader forward to the next line: “never arrives–
but is, rather,
always
ahead of us.”
liked the turn at the end!
