Well,
this is interesting,
we are present in the past
which passes us to the present
and the future, though not a dot
on the cards is only a door away
or a doorway to another day and
if it's another day it might be a better day,

so the present is the space
between the past and the future
a slim gap between the exit and the entrance.

if anyone has any idea of staying here,
forget it, we're like the ducks on a fairground
shooting range waiting to be shot down and coming
back around again to be shot down again,

I speculate on reincarnation
some expectorate,
it's a matter of no matter as it will not
change the outcomes.
