Moment

Yeah, the moment’s all we’ve got,
but to the past it is a door.
Life’s got meaning and a plot,
and moments build on what’s before.
Not to say they ain’t life-changing,
but they still need some support
if they’re bent on re-arranging;
elstwise they will come up short
like band-aid on a laceration,
like Bondo on a smashed fender.
We have to put determination
forestalling return to the sender,
and that can really only be
the function of consistency.
