Printing Press

I bet it's easy

to impress someone,

but I can't seem to do it.

 

Think of history,

A simple overwhelming fact

that everything that was

is "was."

 

And everything that "will be"

may be,

could be.

 

We are provided a context

that could have been a completely,

completely different

context...

thing.

 

And sometimes, it's easy to forget

that everything is forgotten,

which makes it hard

to impress people.

 

At least for me.

 

I heard it was easy

to impress people,

but I just can't seem to do it.
