Time Zones
By Hiram Larew

Instant isn’t enough
And simultaneous is so poor
Once upon a time is clueless
Here we go again seems so what
Toujours l’amour means hardly
Hippety dippety hop not
Who was that!? is way too late
And better late than never lies through its teeth
From beyond the grave can’t decide
Repeat after me is silly
Over the moon makes no sense
And to kingdom come just came and went.
Most of all
Whatever seems right here and now
Never was.
