SOMEWHERE BETWEEN “NOW” AND “THEN”

All men on Earth
are hemmed in …
by memories somewhere
between “now” and “then”…

The “now” of time
is someone else’s ‘then”…
What lies in between
is history for them…

Your ‘now” overshadows
the yesterday of your life…
which has great meaning
for a man and his wife…

Archaeology is the study
of one’s issue from the womb …
‘til their burial in the tomb
in between the “now and then” room…

Do you ever wonder
where, in time, and when …
you can locate yourself
somewhere between
your “now and then”?
