Poem by Doug Scott
The Now is weird.
Its constant, unrelenting, urgent presence
a black hole–hidden and pulling
at the center of our this and that
inspires the greatest fear–and greatest
joy!
Its Hawking Radiation caresses the body in rhythm
the way you know how the mouth of a passionate lover
hovers
between inhale
and exhale
before pulling in for the kill.

“Know It–Now.”
“Accept It–Now.”
“Forgive It–Now.”
“Balance–Now.”
“Open–Now.”
“Love–Now.”
“Die–Now.”

“I Love You–Now.”
“I Love–Now.”
“I–Now.”
” –Now.”
