I live in the here, just not right now. I presently, live in the past. In the past, I’ve lived in the nuanced present. I go internal so that I can externalize. And when I wake up; sometimes, I feel down. They say if you can’t beat them, join them. I’d rather leave them than lose them. If we’re talking about right now, just save it for later.

The Perverse Presence
I live in the here, just not right now. I presently, live in the past. In the past, I’ve lived in the nuanced present. I go internal so that I can externalize. And when I wake up; sometimes, I feel down. They say if you can’t beat them, join them. I’d rather leave them than lose them. If we’re talking about right now, just save it for later.
