<\/p>\n
Eternity Now<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am lost in a desert<\/p>\n
of things.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Think that these<\/p>\n
things matter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Occasionally<\/p>\n
I remember.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t live here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am looking at a reflection<\/p>\n
of a reflection of a reflection…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because the real me<\/p>\n
is far from here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tapping his feet to an LP.<\/p>\n
Scoffing at cassettes<\/p>\n
and later CD’s that<\/p>\n
morph into digital<\/p>\n
sound on their way to<\/p>\n
who knows what.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He sees the obvious.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nothing changes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And he laughs at<\/p>\n
the smoke screen<\/p>\n
that I think is<\/p>\n
permanent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In darkness there is a neon light saying<\/p>\n
ETERNITY NOW, but he knows<\/p>\n
come sunrise it will be battered<\/p>\n
by bright blaring blasts of light<\/p>\n
that cover creation in a clarity<\/p>\n
that seems so real.<\/p>\n
