I was
yesterday
I am
now
1 will be
tomorrow
I will not be
at the last hour

it's all about engagements
the 'I' that makes for reality
the dynamics of transactions
the perennial you and me-

what tiresomeness and vexations
the oppressive feeling of being empty
the cure then seems to lie in disengagements
that serene non-attachment that would set me free.
