Always Had

tomorrow of the self / yesterday from the I

tomorrow of the self
yesterday from the I

time weaves into terminus
for the memories will cling

and wide-eyed reality freezes
to what begins anew is the now

a free range in spacetime sits
as amnesia breaks the vase

a tablecloth covered illusion
the consciousness still held

as a meditative reflex 
shock felt

a crash of a staff
- snapback

this form of finite feature living
in fight, flight, or freeze certainty 

but stationary still
and hovering 

basking all over
and holding

forever spread out 
and sensing

choices bounded
ah the choices

here or there
never outward

never gone
but always had
